So, my parents got me a pretty cool gift for my birthday. The Nike+ SportBand. It's pretty sweet. When I'm running, it tracks my miles, pace, time, and calories and then logs it into my personal page in the Nike+ website.
Now I have decided to train for a race. Maybe a marathon (I would love to accomplish this in my lifetime), but I think I'll start small. A 5K or 10K sounds good. I googled the distance of a mile per kilometer and I found that a 5K is 3.1 miles, and a 10K is 6.2 (1K = 0.62 miles).
I've been running, but I never know how far I go. So this new technology will give me direction. I'll keep you updated! Here's a quick link to take a look at what I'm talking about: http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/
