Went for a run
Sean got me a present yesterday. It's the Nike+ running sensor and shoes. It's insanely cool. I just had to take it for a spin. As soon as you plug the little thingy into the iPod, it adds the nike+ stuff to the menu. Then you just stick the sensor in the shoe and you're ready to go. When you go for a run, you just go to the menu and pick your workout goal (time, distance, calories or open ended) and then take off. Along the way it tells you how you're doing. When you get to the halfway point, it tells you so you can turn around. A neat feature is if you hold down the menu button, it automaticly plays your psych song. I still need to pick a psych song. I have to put some thought into that. When you reach your goal it lets you know but you can keep going if you want. When I reached my 30 minutes, I still had a little ways to go (that hill back up to my house is steep) so my final workout time was 30 minutes, 59 seconds. I ran 2.6 miles and averaged 11 minutes, 53 seconds per mile. My only complaint was that you couldn't see the menu when the iPod is in the arm strap. It would've been nice to peak at it every now and then to see what my pace was and how far I'd gone.
While I was out running, Emily made dinner. We've decided to make that her once a week chore. She made a fabulous vegetarian dinner of garlic baked tofu, rice and a tomato salad. The only problem was that there wasn't quite enough of it. I told her next time she should put some cut up veggies in the pan with it so there's more. She took a chicken recipe and used tofu instead. She probably could've cut the amount of margarine she used in half (when you cook tofu, you actually want it to dry out a little) but maybe that's why it turned out so good. At least there was a ton of melted margarine left in the pan so we didn't consume all of it. Emily said she wants to make a veggie stir-fry next. Nick's planning to make dinner tomorrow. I think he wants to make Jambalaya. I think it would be good with veggie sausage and red beans instead of the sausage and shrimp we used to use.
Here's my log for yesterday:
B: oatmeal, blueberries, soymilk
S: orange
L: veggie stir fry with noodles
D: garlic baked tofu, tomato salad, rice
S: vegan chocolate cake
Workout: 2.6 mile run

I sooooooooooo want that Nike and iPod duo! Having a mac, the apple page is my homepage, so I see things. But I have a shuffle, sadly, 'cause I was on a limited budged AND the nano came out AFTER i bought it, of course. And I'm thinking your psych song could be "Do you know how to rock?" by Pariah, 'cause I'm listening to it right now and it ROCKS!
Hugs,
Sean
