Nike+ SportWatch GPS



Finally the Nike Gadget that really fits what I need is been produced by Nike. I never like the Nike+ sensor coz it depends on how u calibrate it, calibration can go wrong as u check distance on google map or any other map tools can give u different distance. The sensor after calibrated sometimes doesn't detect my steps when I change my run steps differently, for example lighter foot step or even walking steps.

This new watch is going to solve my problem ( I know there are many other useful gadgets like Garmin, Sunnto, Polar etc out there.). As much as I can, I want to get rid of foot pod/sensor, GPS could be the best solution ( ya, iphone can solve that too..), you can bet that TomTom will do a good job for this new toy!

Price tag? no idea, it could be starting from RM599 to RM999, any price beyond that it's better to buy those brands mention above...

Launch date ? April 2011 in US and UK, Malaysian have to do the same thing we did with Ipad before it came to Malaysia...swim sea water... LOL!

My 1st 30KM and a new cap

It's hard to believe that I end my 2010 with a 30KM draggy run with someone who has a goal of running 30KM. I thought I would only do my 1st 30KM sometime in mid of 2011. Anyhow, this 30KM was a tough one as I was not running at my pace but her pace, more strides at slower speed means more energy spent on stopping and launching the steps, I felt that I had completed a full marathon with the number of steps that I had made.

The run started at 530pm and ended at 1030pm, by the time we finished, I was half dead already, ya, 5hrs should be a full marathon running time not 30KM.

At the end, I paid the price of a painful left knee and 1600Kcal which I am not sure when and how much food I need to consume to get back...but I got a Adidas cap as a gift !!! Hahaha! exactly the one that I wanted to buy. :D Looks like my 2011 run will be fun with new shoes, new tight and new cap...

The 30Km was made possible by another 4 angels ( support team) who helped to cheer and most important, bought us the 100plus to drink...:D
