Yep, I think I may have to wait until the 12th to join... the Nano is a few thousand miles away.

It's okay though, I don't have a real job so I'll have plenty of time to catch up.

RJ,

I know! Usually I have a magazine or watch TV, but so many people from my college go to my gym that I always look around to see if I know people. One time I got a message on Facebook afterwards from a grad student at USD (that I had never met before) asking if I had been on "x" elliptical at "x" time . . . creeepy!

That's why people fall off of machines. I don't understand how anyone can read and exercise at the same time.

No kidding. The only time I read is when I'm on a bike (non spinner) or cross trainer. Some ahole had a god damned NEWSPAPER (more than one section, too!) spread out on a chest press bench last week. What. The. Hell.

I'll join the challenge as long as you let me wear the sensor thing and count my miles ran during racquetball matches. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Donkey,

No... That is not why I fall off the treadmill. I fall off because I seem to lose focus and can't run in a straight line. That and I suck at running at the same speed.

LOL. I've yet to fall, but I seriously worry about it. Sooner or later I'm going to trip myself at 7.5 MPH and crack my head on that bar. I have a hard enough time when I do a fast walk at 3.5ish. I couldn't even imagine reading then without falling flat on my face.

I don't fall... More like stumble and almost kill myself. Its embarrassing. Not like a "I didn't put a collar on too much weight or get a decent spotter and almost killed three people" embarrassing, but more of a "I am a retarded kid" embarrassed.

Whatever. I just tune out and let my legs go where ever it takes me.

Re: 2+2er Nike Plus group
 

Okay, got my Nike+ but now I realize I need the Marware case. Anyone know if I can grab it in any stores? I have an Apple store sorta nearby if it's there.

Re: 2+2er Nike Plus group
 

LOL, this site is kinda cool. I'm now running for Team LeBron. I was going to pick team Sharapova, but she's destroying Lebron. I refuse to pick OSU or UF because they both suck.

My January goal is 50 miles. I do about 10-15 a week right now, so it's not a difficult challenge but it will keep me from slacking.
