Last year in the marathon I got crushed at the end by little speed walking soccer moms. My big bird legs couldn't match their turnover. Hence I tried speedwalking on the treadmill tonight. That ish aint easy. Think I need to hit the mall with some old people.

But its fun as hell! Get good music, change up the tempo of the songs, and go to town. Let the music move you!!!

I love moving and walking. As in, speeding up for a good song, and doing extra moves when the music strikes.

That's why I don't like being in public. :)

So if the shoes supposedly came with Nike+ you still have to buy the chip?? Reason I ask is I am intrested in this challenge we are talking about. I wouldn't mind being apart of it.

Yeah, you have to purchase the chip and sensor separately. The shoe is Nike+ meaning that it has a spot in the sole in order to put the chip in.

Are you mountain biking or using a road bike?

I have both. If am subbing a ride for a run then I will double the distance on the mountain bike and almost quadruple for a road ride (i.e. 4-6 mile run = 8-10 mile mtn bike = 20-24 mile road ride). Mountain biking takes more power and short bursts whereas road biking is more top end and endurance. Thats why I adjust the distances. I have no scientific evidence to back this but it seems to work.

Jay-Z station on Pandora helped. I got faster toward the end. I will bring my hands up and put a little swag in my shoulders when a good song comes on. I know everyone in the gym must think I'm insane but I don't care.

For someone looking to get into cycling what kind of bike would you recommend? I really would like to not spend a ton of money on a bike. I probably would lean more towards a road bike too just for the simple fact that I would have to drive a distance before being able to use a mountain bike on a trail.

there is some good info in the cycling thread but my suggestion is go to the bike shops in the area and test ride the different brands of bikes just like you would test drive cars. Find a 2-3 brands or models you like & the correct size then search Craigslist. An entry level bike at a shop is gonna cost $500-1000. Often you can find one for $250-500 on C-List that is a couple years old. Someone bought it, rode 2x and didn't like it. Or its a college student at the end of the year looking to dump his bike he rode around campus.

Haha sometimes when I am running I start singing the music and don't realize how loud I am. Always funny when you get caught.

Measured the distance I've been running and it's 3.9 miles. I'm going to modify the route to see if I can find another.1 miles.



Thanks for listening.

Invite sent...you must run a minimum of 4 miles for your run to count.

The game will randomly choose a time to start in the next 72 hours.

The last person to run after the game starts loses.
