Motivation

For Christmas this year, my boyfriend got me the Nike+ ipod attachment - and I am absolutely loving it right now. I plug a sensor into my ipod nano, and then I bought a cheap little pouch that attaches to my shoe laces and that's where the sensor goes. It keeps track of my pace as I run, and sends me messages as I run, such as how far I've run, how many calories I've burned, my pace, etc.

But my favorite part about it is that all my data gets sent to the Nike+ website, so I can keep track of all my runs in really unique ways. I don't want to get into to much detail about it, but I find it rewarding to plug in my info after a run and see that I just ran my fastest mile yet. Being involved in challenges with other runners all over the world motivates me to keep running everyday! It is fabulous.

Looking forward to my next run... 4 miles on Sunday! Tomorrow I will be cross-training on the bike for 30 minutes.
