Still Running

So far the Nike+ thing sucks.  I haven't given up on it but nothing is working right.  It's been more frustrating than actually running.  Wednesday night I took it to the gym and ran with it on the treadmill again.  The treadmill said I did 4.25 miles and the Nike+ still had 1km to go on my 5km run I had set it for?!?!  I wanted to throw it across the gym.  Maybe tomorrow I will try to calibrate it to see if that helps.

Yesterday I worked out sans the Nike+ and did 5 miles in 44 minutes and 33 seconds on the treadmill.  Thats within the starting goal and I think I can keep that up on the treadmill.  The pavement is another story.  I am still scared of the street after my last couple of outings.  My knees were killing and I felt twice as beat as working out in the gym.  The heat probably plays a big part in that but the cement is a huge part too.  Maybe losing a bit more weight would help.  If I can keep up the 5 mile runs a few times a week, that will certianly happen.
