Nike+ Review, Part II of II.

So, calibrating the sensor on a track works well, but...

Don't be an idiot like me. If you have good sneakers, keep wearing those, and fuck the Nike+iPod system. After an x-ray, a doctor visit, and a serious-ass ultrasound to insure that I didn't kick off a blood clot which was lung-bound, I have learned that it's A-OK to stick with what works.

Damn. I can't BELIEVE how much I screwed myself up, all for the sake of geek tech.

Hmm. Geek tech. Aren't there wearable GPS/Heart Monitor sets?

Yummy.

Love to all. Even you, the hypermuscular twenty-something who didn't know what "fast" meant... causing the nurse to yell "DID. YOU. EAT?"

So what was the injury? Is it shin splints?
I am looking into the garmin forerunner. It's super pricey and the software only works with a pc - but I think I am going to give it a try.
The new ones are smaller than the old ones -but still pretty big. It seems like an awesome training tool.

Run On

Heh. I forwarded this to my training-for-a-half-marathon (and then maybe for another run at the LA Marathon with it's new super duper faster course, announced yesterday) tech-geek husband. That could so easily have been him...
