Nike +

Have been getting into the Nike + system over the last few days. I actually received this little gadget on my trip to Portland with Hiroshi for Honeyee.com in April. I never took it out of the box until recently. I started running near my house during the editing of Car Danchi 3, but still didn’t take it out of the box. After finishing the editing I started running longer distances and really getting into it over the last two weeks. It has been a tough two weeks as the body is hating me every morning as I tie my shoes and head out the door. Now after two weeks of running everyday I am finally starting enjoy the experience and not feel so much pain! So I decided to bust the Nike+ out of the box. It is really a fun item. You put a sensor in your shoes and then wear the watch/wrist band that keeps track of your steps/time/pace etc., Then when you get home you can upload your run to the Nike+ web site and it gives you all the stats from your run. It also keep an archive of all your prior runs and helps you set goals and challenges with other people all kinds of stuff. I have never been much of a runner, but having the visual gratification seeing the stats and graph on the screen is pretty cool and gives some incentive to get out there and run some more! Pretty soon I will be wearing spandex and wrap around sunglasses with a sweatband for good measure! Not!
