I have decided not to limit myself with blogging if I have a need to add to the trail I should add. Hey no one is going to say you have done too many pushups this week. So I am sure extra blogging is ok. I needed a break from reading on my last day of my mini holiday. I mentioned my new toy at the end of class last week which sparked some interest. While on vacation a few months ago I was looking for a new pair of running shoes. I found a pair endorsed by Lance Armstrong’s live strong foundation. So I had to have them. They came with a few surprises to my glee. There are many that come with what is called the Nike plus. Basically you put a micro chip in your shoe then pug the add on to your iPod. Pick your workout and your iPod records your run. You can name them and then try to beat your time, heartbeats, cadence, and so on. All the while listening to your favorite songs. If you start to slow your iPod may pick a power song to motivate you.

When you get home you can plug your iPod in and download your work outs.
Makes running a little more enjoyable.
