Training Update

Take me for a walk!!

I am still in love with Nike+. I have walked 25.05 miles since Sunday and 70 miles since January 3rd. I am SO looking forward to the Half Marathon. I am thinking that if I can speed up my pace, then I will updgrade to walk the whole 26.2 miles. IF I can speed up my pace. If not, then I will just do the HM. Also...I've convinced several friends to walk the Lacamas Lake Run/Walk with me on the 25th of July. Should be fun! Why don't you join us?!

Nike+

I have started walking more and more - trying to train for a Half Marathon in May. I purchased the Nike+ Sportband to use as a pedometer yesterday. I LOVE IT! Not only does it track my distance, but it also counts the calories I've burned. The sensor fits inside my shoe and comes linked to the sportband. After a run/walk, I stick the usb into my computer and it charts my progress from the last workout. This is better than any pedometer I've had before (that clip on the hip). So far, this has made the training more fun (& as a visual person, I love being able to see the progress on my computer). Yesterday, Remy and I clocked 5.2 miles.
132 days to go!
