I'm on a mission to get in shape. I started running again last week, but this time I've got a new toy to help me stay motivated. It's called Nike+. Laura got me the sensor for our Anniversary (which is actually in 11 days). It costs $18 and you strap it to your shoe. It tracks my distance, pace, mileage and syncs with my phone. It's pretty cool. It also syncs with a website where I can set goals, track my runs and push myself towards my goal of running a 5k. I'm not really interested in running a race or anything. I just want to be able to actually run 5 kilometers.
I'm terribly out of shape, but so far so good. I've covered almost 8 miles in the past week. Not bad for coming straight off the couch! I'm too ashamed to start tweeting my times, but the system also does that really well. It's embarrising looking at my times and distances, but that's going to change. I'm on my way to getting back in shape even if it takes a little technology to get me started.
