Is my iPod brain dead??

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Somehow I managed to get my iPod + Nike stuff out of sync with the real world. Apparently the iPod didn’t like handling 2 Nike censors and somehow the calibration got damaged.

Today I tried to calibrate the system so I could start a new running frenzy. So I selected 1.25km and ran it (measured it on a map beforehand). When the distance was completed my breain dead iPod said 0.7km, so I ended the calibration but got an error message like the following:

The distance you have chosen doesn’t match the distance completed.

Is it me who’s an complete ass here? Or would you think that the reason for people to calibrate the censor would indicate some error in the step to distance conversion? If the completed distance was correct. WHY CALIBRATE???

Putting pressure on yourself

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Like most other people I love being in shape, but can’t really stand running all the time. I have decided (several times) to run a marathon but never even got close to the 20 km milestone where you actually can say your training for it.. seriously.

As group pressure is know to work I might as well use that to motivate me.. How often do you group pressure yourself? Maybe I’m starting a trend? Anyway.. The group consists of the 5 completely lost people out there on the web getting lost and ending here on my blog. I put a little Nike widget in the right sidebar and fell free to taunt me if I’m running to slow, to short of not running at all.
