There is a circle where I live which is ~1.4 miles, so I just run around that, I’m going to try to make it 2 times around tonight… if I can make it a little further, that would be my first 5k 😃 ---

You got it… to log your miles, you need either the ipod thing(29 bux at finishline) or the sportband. With either of those, you can log your runs online, set goals and challenges. I know Poopra posted a pic of his runs, here is mine… ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5171&stc=1&d=1220383061](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5171&stc=1&d=1220383061) ---

You feel as if you are going at a good clip but the different between 4.7 and 5.2 when you are dead tired is absolutely negligible. A true monitor will keep you on pace and keep you improving :tup: ---

I heard stories of the units not lasting very long, batteries in the shoe transmitter die and you cant replace them. If you buy it in the apple store you can just exchange it for a brand new one without any hassle if it dies before the warranty expires which I think is a year. Its only 30 bucks so if it lasts a yr thats fine for me. I think I will have time to get a run in today after work, maybe 2 laps in the park. This challenge should motivate me somewhat. ---
