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...

All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service.

There May be Hope for Me Yet
Yesterday, we did a 6 mile walk. Through some sort of bizarre miracle, I managed to walk the first 4 miles in just under an hour, make a pit stop, and do the remaining 2 miles in just under a half hour. Afterwards, we had a very fun brunch, where we talked about everything from sex to serial killers. We're definitely a very interesting and entertaining bunch!
I walked to 86th and Lexington Avenue to catch the subway, and by the time I got home, I had logged over 9 miles on my pedometer. This was followed by some serious dancing at my high school reunion, which brought my total mileage up to 13.8 miles for the day. Not too shabby!

Bootcamp Torture and Other Updates...
I've been a bit lax about updates lately, and for that, I apologize.
For starters - my big news is that at last Saturday's Group Training Session (aka GTS) I walked 4 miles in just under an hour. That's less than 15 minutes per mile! Go me!!!
Next up - I'm now up to $1,491.00 in donations!!! Thank you all for your generosity and support of my efforts!
At this past Wednesday's GTS, we had the pleasure of a bootcamp workout. Actually, it was more like a Group Torture Session than a Group Training Session, and I'm really surprised that I was able to move when I woke up on Thursday! If you want to get an idea of what Jasmine Graham put us through, have a look at her web site here:

Tomorrow, we're scheduled to do 5-6 miles in Central Park, which means by the time I get home, I'll probably have logged about 9 miles on my pedometer when all is said and done. We also have a team brunch after our training session, which I'm looking forward to.
On the fund raising front, I am hosting an online Tastefully Simple party. Now through the end of the month, you can order delicious Tastefully Simple foods for yourself or for holiday gifts and the consultant has generously offered to donate 20% of the total sales to my Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training efforts! If you would like to be added to the invite list, please e-mail me with "TNT Tastefully Simple" in the subject line, and I'll send you an invitation with the link!
