NIKE RUNNING

2009-12-03T17:19:00.000-08:00

I've been doing a lot of running lately. For the obsessive compulsive like myself, I've found a couple gadgets to help motivate me. First, the Nike Running Chip with the iPod. This lets you record all your run times, distances and calories burnt. Second, I setup a Nike account on Nike web page. This provides more tools to help track your activity, set goals, map runs, etc. Finally, the Nike site automatically updates your Facebook page to allow others to see your progress (or motivate others).
