I headed out today to try out my Christmas gift -Nike+. My husband will buy anything that is made by either Nike or Apple, so for him it does not get any better than this. I was surprised, because it was not something I had ever mentioned wanting before. It was pretty easy to set up with my Nano and I got going really easy. The instructions state you can calibrate it but it is not always necessary. I thought I would see how it would go. I need to calibrate!! It says that I went 7.94 miles with a pace of 7:40 (not possible). I am going off my traditional mapping method instead and only giving myself 6.76 miles :( I wanted to run 7 but fell just short. I am happy however with my avereage pace 8.93 miles. I would probably almost consider this a tempo run. It is a beautiful day with the sun shinning! Enjoy the day!

Happy Running!

Headed back out to calibrate my new toy.  It said it was successful, but I have my doubts.  You are supposed to run nice and even but I ended up jumping a few puddles because my shoes from this morning are still wet and I only have one pair of back ups.  We will see, I might have to head to a track.  

 Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Your mom told me you got the Nike+. That will be cool for you to have, I dont know much about them but heard they are pretty cool! Thank you so much for the "office" season, we are so excited to watch them. I almost bought one of the seasons last week. Good job on getting out on Christmas!

P.S. I am glad I am not the only one that does not follow the rules:)

Way to go getting out today!! I might still get out? I run with the Nike/ipod thing too. I really like it. I re-calibrate mine occasionally and think that it does a pretty good job! Hope you've had a wonderful day, Merry Christmas!
