I can't give up this hobby

Hi all!! Colorado sounds fantastic, Scribbners! I just want to know if I can borrow some of the physical activity you're doing and add it to my spreadsheet???

I got lots of fun gear for jogging yesterday, so I can't give up this hobby! The neatest was a NIKE+iPod, with an adaptor so I don't have to use it with NIKE shoes.

I'll use it for the first time tomorrow, but it's a sensor that goes on your shoes, and it "talks" to your iPod nano (4th generation only!). During the jog, you can hit the center button on the iPod and a voice will interrupt your song, telling you your distance and pace. At the end, it tracks your whole workout, pace, distance, calories, etc.! You can even upload the info to a Web site!

Keith, you gotta, gotta, gotta get this. It's sssssoooo cool! It's made to work with Nike shoes, and the sensor goes right in them. But if you don't use Nike shoes (I don't), you can buy a Velcro piece to put on your laces like the sensor at the Jingle All The Way 10k.

And I really am going to need to try it out tomorrow, after the bacon extravaganza that was Christmas day (I'll link over to that post when I'm finished with it!). Good news on Christmas and exercising was that I did jog yesterday morning before starting on brunch. It was a freakishly warm day - 48 when I went outside! - sandwiched in between two 25 degree days!
