back to running

So, after an evening of margaritas and delicious Mexican food I’ve decided to blog on one of my interests . . . running! Seems appropriate, right? Follow a few margaritas and a couple of bean burritos with a conversation on exercise? Oh, and consider this my pre-emptive apology for any typos you might find . . .

I got back into running a couple of months ago. I used to do triathlons a few years back and never quite shook the swimming, bicycling, running bug. Running’s been a special joy for the past few weeks for this techie geek because I recently invested in the Nike+ running system . . . you know, the kit where you have the sensor that goes into your shoes and it talks to your iPod while you run, tells you your progress, etc.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about check out this link (Nike+ – link)!

This thing ROCKS! I love being able to track my progress . . . and it’s extra-inspiring to have a voice come over the music and tell me that I’m in danger of being passed by the lady in the walker two blocks back! Ha ha!  Fear is a wonderful motivator!

If any of you are runners with the Nike+ kit, and are interested in getting a little running “club” going it’s easy to do via the Nike+ website! Let me know! I’ll do the legwork to get the club started! I’d be stoked to be part of your club!

Have a great weekend!
