I Love Jogging .. And Nike+

I love jogging for a few reasons:
1) to shed some weight off my marginally-obese body
2) to have the relaxation of mind it gives me while on the run
3) to keep me healthy

I was introduced to a running gadget by my colleague a year plus ago and am still using it regularly today.
It's the Nike+ Sportsband.

My running data such as distance run, calories burned and time per km rate etc are uploaded to my online account at Nikeplus.com.

I must say it's a great concept that really inspires me to run more. And in reality, I do run more than what I used to run after I retired from my National Service, AKA "went MR".

This Sportsband, however requires a transponder to be inserted in the hole meant for it in a Nike+ running shoe.

However, there comes the new version of iPod Nano by Apple. With the 6th generation iPod Nano, I can track my running data the same way as I'm doing on my Sportsband. The main difference between them is that the iPod Nano does not requires an additional transponder to work. So it's just "wear it and run"!

Yes, that's the gadget I will be getting next and real soon.

The only worry is its accuracy. The Nike+ Sportsband that I'm using now is highly accurate.

So, let's keep healthy!
