new gadget that I love...

Hubs came home the other day with an anniversary prezzie for me.

Let me just take this opportunity to say just how much I love presents! Really I do! It's crazy. Awhile ago Kev and I read this Book "The Five Love Languages"
So it really is official. The number two for me was, yup gifts! And Kev? Not gifts at all. There has been some learning curve to this marriage thing:)

See how I get off track?!

This nifty new gadget keeps track of the distance and time I run and allows me to upload it all to the computer and track my runs. So cool!

Here's a pic of my fav new toy: Nike+ Sportband


I LOVE it!! We found out the distance we thought was 10K was actually 8...opps! So now we're running 10. It's helping me so much with my motivation and training for the half marathon in October. I really love that it allows me to track and look at all my runs with distances and pace.

Can you tell I love this thing?! AND my hubby thought of it all on his own. He loves gadgets and I love gifts - perfect! AND this is one I can actually use!

Is this one of those that tracks your calories too? I want one of those!

I love Gary Chapman. I just read The Five Love Languages of Teenagers and absolutely LOVED it. I highly recommend it. Now... if only I could actually implement all of those great parenting techniques that I have running around in my head...

I have been eyeing that gadget and trying to decide if it is something I "need". Let me know how it goes, because I still might ask for one for Christmas.

Great gift! Spreadsheets and running, I love it!
I think you need to come and have a talk with my uterus and tell it to get in gear. I am impatient! Plus I really want to see you. Miss you friend,
Love,

Very cool gadget. We read the love languages too and gifts is one of my languages as well. I love thoughtful presents that make you feel like the person really knows you and cares about you.
For my first Mother's Day Mike got me a really big memory card for the camera so I could snap away pics of my baby to my heart's content. It was an awesome gift.
Anyhoo....enjoy your running and downloading! You're one high-tech mama now!

Okay, I have seen this but I didn't understand. Does it plug into your IPod? I don't think my one that plugs into the IPod tells the correct distance.
I am intrigued.....
