Last week I went to my friend's house and wowwww...she's looking good!!!! (go Emy!!!). She started telling me about running and everything she has accomplished in 6 months. She got me all excited so I thought...why not?. I will give it a try!. Of course if I'm going to do this, I'll do it right...so of course I needed new shoes and the awesome little gadget from my Ipod Nano!
The actual NikePlus gadget is $29.99 and I believe it only works with the Ipod Nanos. You can either get the Nike shoes with Nike + (that come with a slot on the bottom of the shoe to insert the transmitter) or you can get a little pouch and attach it to any shoe. I believe those can be found in ebay for less than $10.00.
New shoes, new fun gadget and new shorts....I was ready to go. I went on my first run Saturday and was able to comfortably run 3 miles....and I truly enjoyed it!!!. Then came the fun part, uploaded my workout to nikeplus.com and was able to see how I did. I need to do some calibration (which I didn't do before), but I loved seeing my results.
Now I created a training plan in Nikeplus to run a 10K race on Decemeber 20th in my area. It gave me my 12 week program...which is great because I am more effective when I'm on a set schedule/routine.
Once I complete the goal for each day, the columns turn green...basically helping me keep track of my progress against the plan.
Today I go for my second run! Looking forward to it and to hearing all my new "powersongs"!!
