So, last post I introduced you all to Rich, my buddy in PA - and he is now runninng (and I’ve started again too, believe it or not)! Go Rich!
With a lot of coaxing, and a little bit of bribery I talked him into getting a Nike+ SportBand, and more importantly to start running. […]

First the motivation. My buddy Rich (pictured left) and I have a lot in common. We are both mid-westerners at heart, and met scuba diving. We also have tech backgrounds, and in fact my current job is his previous job. We also share a love for the same vices in life… […]

So, here’s the update. My kids and wife were in Japan for most of June, and all of July as our daughter attended Preschool there over her summer vacation. She had a great experience, and it was well worth it, but it left me a bachelor for about 6 weeks. During that […]

Following up the last post, I have GOOD news!!!

So, the SportBand arrived, and I’ve run with it one time (pushing my Daughter in a running stroller, so that may have affected the accuracy) for real, and done a walk and run for calibration. Here’s what I’ve noticed. The band is slim, and the bump where the USB device is, is not […]
