Technologically challenged
So here is my lastest workout news. When I was in Boise, Lane convinced me to buy the computer chip for my new shoes... I ran with it one day and it was kind of fun to see how I had done. I ran/walked 1.95 miles in 24.33 minutes... However the chip wasn't calibrated, so I have no idea how accurate that really was. I decided on Thursday to go out and calibrate the chip. I was going to go over to the track at IF so I could do it with a 1/4 mile run. The track was packed with all the high school kids doing their spring sports, so I went to communtiy park. I knew I was going to have to run a mile without stopping in order to calibrate the chip correctly because the trail is marked in 1 mile increments. So I hit the calibrate button on my ipod and on the screen it said to hit the center button to begin calibrating. So I hit the center button, my music started to play and I started to run... I ran and ran and was tired, but pushed myself to run a full mile without stopping. I was out of breath wheezing and exhausted... I hit the center button to stop my calibration and heard this voice say "Hit center button to begin calibrating." WHAT???? Are you kidding me? I just ran a mile and killed myself and my shoes are still not calibrated! I walked back to the car and went home! I haven't worked up the courage to go do it again. I'm such an idiot! .

haha mom that kills me!! I can't believe you did that and it didn't even work. Well now that you did it you know you can do it again... this time just make sure it works! :)
Love ya! You are doing SO DANG GOOD TOO!
Oh MOM... we really should have calibrated it while I was in Boise! That is too funny though....
You are doing awesome on your training! Can you believe that you can run a mile without stopping? I would definitely suggest trying to get to a track so you only have to do a 1/4 mile calibration.
Good Luck and keep training hard!
Iola you are not an idiot- I can't believe you ran the whole thing. . . I am so impressed!
Way to go Iola! That is so great!!! Those Ipods can be tricky sometimes.
