After finally figuring out that I accidentally turned off the sensor that goes into your shoe, I finally got my sport band to sync with the sensor. When I first got the kit out and tried to get the sport band to sync with the sensor, it wouldn't work. I kept holding the record button and walking around like the directions say to do, but it would http://www.runningtorehab.com/2010/05/my-review-of-nike-sportband.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (chris and sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18838317.post-6464557256256448465Wed, 26 May 2010 02:01:00 +00002010-05-25T22:08:38.658-04:00So tomorrow this little fun device will be coming to me in the mail. It's the Nike+ sport band. WooHoo. I can't wait to try it out. From what I can tell, it's Nike's attempt at a Garmin sport band. I've really not had any luck with the Nike+ for the iPod. I get too sweaty when I run and it's really hard to control my iPod through the arm band when I want to stop/pause, etc. So, if this is like a http://www.runningtorehab.com/2010/05/new-running-toyol.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (chris and sarah)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18838317.post-100316148067212597Wed, 26 May 2010 01:34:00 +00002010-05-25T21:49:20.111-04:00Whats going on? Im not sure. I feel drained lately. I ran 10 miles on Sunday, and to say the least, it was mediocre at best. I felt fatigued, tired, and just, drained. I suppose I tried to come back to early after Cleveland. I got back to running on Thursday after Sunday's marathon. I felt great. I felt strong and back to normal.

The race overall was great. We had wonderful weather, great support, and a decent expo. Overall, I would say the weekend was a success. My friend Jamie and I did not reach our goal of a sub-four marathon, but we were close. It was windy, and I think that deflated us a little bit. We ran the whole race otherwise, and I couldn't be happier http://www.runningtorehab.com/2010/05/recouping.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (chris and sarah)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18838317.post-5930718743795626810Sun, 16 May 2010 23:52:00 +00002010-05-16T19:52:20.023-04:00Well.

My best run in quite some time. I felt good after work and I had some extra energy from the day and spent it well. The only small nuisance was that my iPod died half way through my run. Oh well...I just sucked it up and dealt.I did 7 miles in 50 min which equals out to a 7:12 pace.

I. Love. It. My coffee addiction really didn't start until after I graduated from college. I never was much into coffee before then. My parents drank coffee and I had tried it from time to time; I just never really considered drinking it. I always thought it had a weird taste, and it did nothing for me.
