Owwwwwww*coughcough*wwwwwwwww....

Running 8k before your sore throat and cough have completely gone away is not a good idea. But I just couldn't wait any longer - I had to ruuuuuuuunn! It felt good, although not as good as last time since I think my body is still fighting off whatever bug is laying siege to my throat and head. Still, I persist in my efforts. Vitamin C intake is still at an all-time high and I've laid off the drugs for now. I WILL win, dag nabbit!

Speaking of running, Apple has proved once again that it is the company of choice for yuppies everywhere. I gotta say, it's an awesome idea and whoever it was at Nike that came up with this is a marketing genius (and is probably sitting in a new corner office as we speak). But c'mon. If you want a device that's going to give you data on your run, go out and get a GPS thing that tracks your progress via satellite. They give you much more information than just your pace and how far you've gone. Still, for people who just want the basics and already have an iPod nano, this is a good idea.

if they sold an iPod+speedometer for bikes i would possibly consider buying it. although i don't have a nano. and i just bought a new speedometer last month. that does not make me a yuppie.
