Nike+ Applet
11:30p.m.

I didn't realize the Nike+ website had a feature where I can put code on my own website to track my runs using the Nike+iPod integration. For now I'm going to slap it in this post and see how it looks. Eventually I might put it in its own section.

I started running last summer quite a bit. Doing consulting work from home freed up my mornings and having a routine that includes running after getting up helped me get into a work pattern for the rest of the day. However last semester was pretty rough so I didn't get to run much and when I did it was experimenting with different routes, since that was right after I moved down to Blacksburg. Now my semester is looking better and I started using the treadmill at the fitness center for the apartments until the weather gets a bit warmer. It made me realize the Nike+ distances are not very accurate. They seem to be a bit more than I actually run. The actual distance ran is about 80% of the distance Nike+ records. I'll have to play around and try to calibrate it a bit better.
