My Nike+ SportBand Arrived

As reported in my previous blog entries, I am gearing up (excuse yet another pun) to use the Nike+ Running website to help motivate me to run on a regular basis. The site is free, but requires an investment in Nike+ gear that is used to track the time and distance of your runs.

I purchased my shoes at the local Sports Authority. I ordered the monitoring device from the Nike online store. Its a Nike+ SportBand, and it just arrived.

Together with my Nike+ shoes, I will be able to begin tracking my runs and using the motivational features of the website. I am super excited about all this. While I am a software engineer, I am not a gadget guy. I have an iPhone, but am otherwise relatively gadget free. A gadget has to be super compelling for me to buy into it, and the SportBand fit that criteria. Lets hope it lives up to my expectations!
