New Year, New Gear

Good stuff today: I bought a Nike+ and registered with their website.My profile is now up there with 0 current miles.

For those that aren’t familiar with it, the Nike+ is a pedometer that works with most iPods. It keeps track of your distance and speed. When done with a run, you connect your iPod to your computer and via the iTunes interface, you upload your information to the Nike+ website.

I calibrated my Nike+ by walking a quarter mile and running a quarter mile at the local track. I and plan on logging my first miles on it tomorrow. Quite fitting to begin using my new tool on the first run of the new year, eh?

I also created a challenge that people can join. It’s aimed at getting geeks out there to run: T3ch 5uppor7 v5 4dm1n5. For those of you not |337 enough to know read that it reads: Tech Support vs Admins. Not that admins and tech support are in a battle…more like a friendly rivalry amongst fellow coworkers. So come on all you |337 ||4m45. Get down, lace them up, and get on out!

So the good news is that the new year and the new challenge have me in well spirits. Who knows, I might even be inspired to write a verse or three.
