Gadget Frustration

Several months ago, I RAVED about the Nike + iPod gadget, especially for running. But, in the last few months, I have had nothing but problems with it! You may have noticed that I haven’t been recording my run stats like I used to, which is because the stupid thing hasn’t worked correctly in weeks! I’ve spent hours fiddling around with it and looking online for solutions, but I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. Grrrrr… I’m so frustrated with the stupid gadget! I’m starting to think that I should just give up on it and get something else more reliable to track my runs. Runners– got any recommendations for me?

When my alarm went off at 5:01 this morning, I practically bounded out of bed! I slept in yesterday (by mistake) and hit the sack early last night, so those few extra hours of sleep really made a difference for me. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill while flipping between the news and Parental Control on MTV. 

Run stats:

I used the treadmill to track my distance and time, and Cool Running’s Pace Calculator to figure out my average pace. The treadmill also kept track of my burned calories, but I don’t put much stock in those machine estimates. They tend to overestimate like crazy. 

This morning’s bowl of oats had an all-star cast of ingredients in it today!

In the mix:

After eating that bowl of oats, I am SO full!! But, I’m pretty sure it will hold me over just fine until lunchtime! 

With a multi vitamin and an Adora disk… 

No “Lunch Preview” today because my hubby is meeting me for lunch this afternoon! I’m really looking forward to our lunch date– mostly because we will get to have some quality M&T time, but also because there are so many yummy lunch options in Harvard Square!

Do you have any bad habits that you want to break?
