Otherwise, it just doesn't mesh too well with my pace. But I still love it!

I love it when that happens! There’s nothing better than the feeling you get when you have an amazing run with amazing tunes–especially if you’re not an expert runner. I love it when that happens!

It basically plugs into the bottom of your iPod, where you would charge it and then a chip goes in your shoe (if you have Nike + shoes), or in a small clear container attached to your laces (if you don't have Nike running shoes). <br/><br/>The cost is less than $30 and it transmits a signal from your shoe, to your iPod, telling you how far you've gone, how many calories you've burned, how long your workout was, etc. It also keeps track of your last 2,000 workouts, and you can hook it up to the computer and chart your results! <br/><br/>If you look up Nike Plus iPod online, you'll find what I'm talking about! <br/><br/>Keep up the good work.

I made it to week 5, was running consistently, three days a week, and was loving it! It WAS addictive and I loved what it was doing to my body. I was eating well on the WW flex plan and I felt great! <br/><br/>Then, several weeks ago, I developed a pain in my hip and had to stop running. I was depressed about it and felt like, if I can't run, what's the point of eating right either... Started eating sweets, which I had been able to pass by for over a year, then started craving sweets, now, for the past three weeks, have been gorging on every sweet I can get my hands on! <br/><br/>My hip pain is much better and my chiropractor has given me the go ahead to try running again, but I just haven't been motivated to get myself back in gear. <br/><br/>I feel crappy, I feel like I'm starting to look crappy, and I'm still eating everything in sight--I'm just not sure quite how to break out of this slump! Maybe reading your post and writing this comment will get me back on the straight and narrow! <br/><br/>Congratulations on your fitness accomplishments. You should be so proud of yourself! You are great motivation to the rest of us!<br/><br/>Sandy Wow Roni–this post connected with me on so many different levels!
