ok, I totally geeked out a couple weeks ago and bought both my wife and myself those new nike+ ipod kits for our nanos. thought it would be lame, but it’s anything but! it’s been very cool to track my progress and goals, but most cool to compete with my wife. right now we’re neck-and-neck about 1/2 way through a ‘who can run 100 miles first’ challenge- which works wherever I’m at in the world. ya know, sometimes technology’s a crutch, sometimes it’s a distraction, but this is pretty f@#kin’ sweet. running motivation is just a playlist away… :)

I’ve been travelling a lot, and not sure whether it’s the change of scenery/pace or just the alignment of the stars but I’ve been exercising like crazy and not even really working at it. The only thing I’ve consciously done is switch up my physical habits:
- instead of sitting down to my computer, I got a ‘stand-up’ desk and change positions a lot more often
- stopped driving to work and taking cabs, walking pretty much everywhere now
- instead of turfing out on the sofa and watching TV, I’ve been doing crunches on the floor while catching up on Lost
- etc.
basically- just the act of changing my daily habits ever-so-slightly has made a huge difference. let’s see if it sticks… ;-)
