Nike+

John gave me a Nike+ thing for my birthday. It works by putting this little puck on your shoe and plugging the receiver into your iPod. My first time using it was a couple of days ago and I had it all messed up. After about 10 minutes of messing with it and my iPod I finally got it started. Then it only counted about half my run and never talked to me. Tonight I took it to the gym and I think most of the kinks have been worked out. I still don't think it is counting all of my run but it's something and it talked to me too.

Double bonus was running on the treadmill at the gym. I was able to do a 5k in about 35 minutes. The treadmill is going to be my friend for a while until I get better at running. It's a pretty good start and a really good workout. Running is freaking hard!
