Shoe Safety

What to wear & when to wear them or not to wear them!
Flipflops & crocks may seem comfortable, but may damage your feet in certain instances b/c they are too flat & every person needs shoes w/ at least a slight elevation. However, it is ok to wear them for short walks and on the beach.

More Nike Gear

These fotos were taken at the NRL at the Nike Store.

These are tje Nike Zoom Vomero+ 4 Women's Running Shoes that I just got, but not from the Nike Store. Actually I got them from a friend who got them at a discount.

Vitamin Water

I really like vitamin b/c it tastes like juice, but w/o the high concentration of sugar, & it contains vitamins & minerals. Some brands taste better than others. I've purchased a brand that is available at grocery stores & drug stores that tasted kind of strange so I will not try that one ever again.

I like this one in the foto. It's a brand new product that just came out. You can see the ads in the latest running/sports magazines. I think it tastes ok, but I really like the bottle design. It's nice & big and is enough water for me to drink in one run & the liquid won't spill even when the cap is off. It's very conveninet. Another brand which I like for the taste & variety of flavours is GLACEAU. My favourite is the greentea, cranberry & pommergranate flavours. Orange is the least best tasting one especially if it's not chilled, but I still drink it for the vitamin C & calcium. Each flavour also differs in the nutrients/vitamins, so when you pick one you can either choose by the flavour or by what nutrients you think you need. It's very good for health conscious people like you & me. But vitamin water is still a bit pricey in general & I haven't seen them sell it in bulk anywhere yet.

I got all this nike running gear for free although a little effort was required. As to how I got them all, that is a secret. However, I got the clothes & the shoes on 2 seperate occasions.

-orange dryfit tank top w/ a built in bra & 2 pockets on the back for protein bars, gels or even ipod/mp3 player.

-brown dryfit stretchy capri pants w/ zipper pocket for ipod, etc...

Has more stability for my feet.

Why I haven't been uploading my runs lately.

b/c i still have not purchased my own nike+ tracking system/kit yet. Now that the new sportsband is out, I'll get it soon. It's been a bit frustrating b/c although I did track my runs at the nike lounge, some technical obstacles happened. One time I forgot my nike+ login password and they were about to close so that was ok to me that I didn't get to upload it online. But several times, I think 4 so far when I did upload my runs but I forgot to check that it wasn't logged into someone else's account instead of my own & then I am not able to upload again to the correct account b/c you're only able to upload the same run just once. It is very frustrating why people don't logout of their own accounts right after they finish uploading their own runs. Next time if I do track my runs & upload at the lounge again I must not forget to make sure to log into my own account first which will ensure that it's not logged into someone else's account.

I can't wait to get my own nike+ tracking device, or else I'll never be able to complete any of my challenges. I still really want that 500mile tshirt.

Nike: Lunar Glide+

A Brand new advancement in Nike running shoes; a shoe that is suitable for all feet types: whether it's pronate, neutral or supernate. Some people may have unequal feet, eg. 1pronate & the other more neutral. So a shoe like this that works for all feet types will ensure that your feet gets the maximum support it needs. They come in both men's & women's. I know that for the women's there several different colours, but maybe not for the men's. But you can check at a sports store or online if you really need to know.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT

Costs $439.99 CAD. A bit pricy. Not something I would buy unless I had some extra cash. But I'd image a professional runner would want this item.

Nike+Sportband2

New and improved version after the first version was discontinued due to several flaws. Costs $79.99 CAD. Comes in yellow and pink so far and red will also be available in October. I'm actually really considering getting this as I do not want to purposely purchase an ipod for the sportskit. I already have nike+ compatible shoes and this pedometer watch bracelet is pretty convenient to wear and I also just want to continue tracking on my nike+ online account instead of signing up for some other product's website. Other pedometers are gps enabled but they are quite expensive and not convenient to wear around while running either.
