Nike Free



See the video at NikeFree.com

Nike Sport Band












When Nike made the iPod attachment that you plug into your Nano and it will keep track of your running stats (mileage, speed...) I thought that was awesome!  I wanted to get one so bad, I just didn't have a Nano, well my wife did, but I wanted her to use it, and I wasn't going to give her my 60GB!


Well, I never got around to getting the Nike + iPod attachment and I just started seeing the Nike Sport Band.


Gosh, that thing looks awesome!  It's got all the features I want and looks simple and comfortable.


Also, it is probably much easier for me to run with the Sport Band on rather than my current watch!  I have a Suunto Vector and as much as I love it, sometimes while running or biking it gets in the way.


Well, later today I am going to my local running store to see what they carry and wife and wallet willing, I'll be walking, no, running away with some new shoes and the Nike Sport Band.


I can't wait to be tracking runs online!

1st Blog Post

I hate the first post...

Anyway, here it goes.

I started running again.  Now that we moved, my wife has started running with our dog and that in turn has gotten me motivated to run again!  

I used to run in high school, cross country.  I think my fastest time during high school was 21 something and my fastest time in college (just for fun though) was 19:47.

But I've been mountain biking and running has taken a backseat.

I ran with my wife today, not sure of the mileage or time, just for fun, but man that got me thinking... I love running!  I need some new shoes though.

I've also never been one for Nike but I think I want their Nike Everyday+ shoes and the new Nike Sport Band.  I wanted the one for the iPod but this one will be better!

Well, that's good for now, I'm going to add some links and info so check back often for updates.  Thanks for stopping by!
