Now THIS is Dangerous!

Do not give a geek Nike + gadgets. It is like giving crack to an addict! I will end up walking my "inner geek" to death just to play with the software!

I've not only had to go out and "test" how well it tracks my walk once, I went out for a second, longer walk. Then I spent the better part of an hour playing around with all the cool stuff on the Nike + web site, and created a Nike + Mini for my facebook page. I've also set some goals for myself on the Nike + site, and entered The Human Race 10K for next Saturday.

Now I want to go out and play with it some more!

I think my sister has created a monster...

I Bought Myself Some New Toys...

I knew I was going to need a much smaller fanny pack, so I bought a really nice one at Urban Athletics on Madison Avenue between East 91st and East 92nd Streets after practice last night. It's just big enough to hold my Blackberry, keys, MetroCard, money and ID. The people at Urban Athletics are very nice, and they were offering all Team in Training members a 15% discount this week!

It's not exactly the same one, but this will give you an idea.

My other new toy is a "used - like new" Silver 8GB iPod Nano 3rd Generation, that I got for a steal on Amazon.com. It was originally listed as $75.00 plus shipping, but I had a CoinStar voucher for $16.22, which brought it down to a total of about 63 bucks, shipping included. Not bad! It cost me less than a brand-new iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation with less than half the storage space! It arrived in the mail today, and I love it! Next up is going to be a Nike + iPod Sport Kit to track my time, distance, pace and calories.
