My New Gadget

My Nike + Sportband arrived while I was in Atlanta. The sportband will replace my nano, and will still track my calories burned, distance, pace and uploads my results to the Nike Web site for all the world to see. It's a talking point, and completely useless watch at night since there is no backlight feature. My friend Jim loves the sportband so much he threatens to steal mine and compete against me in races like this:

My friend Daniel inspired me to join Nike +, a two year old program that tracks your runs. It is very similar to an pedometer, except it sends your runs to a Web site where you can challenge your friends to a race. I'm in a four man race that started in mid-March. The challenge is to see who can run the most miles in 30 days. My name is MrSensible.
