Results of the heartrate monitor and ipod

I ran with the ipod nike+active contraption and it did ok, but was off the second time I used it. I think because my shoes got wet from the snow. The heart rate monitor is working beautifully! I love it! Zumba will continue this week, but only on Tuesdays through March. April will kick it off again! Spring is almost around the corner and come March 26 I will be done with my sub assignment! yeah! Mission will be accomplished. Can't wait to start studying for the AFAA exam again and get certified by the Summer time! Feel free to post comments. Love Amy

New gadget

I just got the new nike+ipod gizmo that measures calories burned, miles logged and goals accomplished for running. I am very excited about it, I can see my progress and set new goals. Everyone should get one!! It is a microchip that goes in your shoe during your run and then hooks up to your ipod or computer to see the reusults, I'm heading out for my first run with it very shortly and will tell you how it works out.

The new year is in full swing

well, I successfully finished the Turkey Trot which was 58 minutes and thirteen seconds. My physical challenge for the new year is P90X which I am eleven days into, a 90 day program. I am also teaching full time at Chaddock where I am subbing for Mr. Bottorff who went on maternity leave. The holidays were enjoyable, I got to visit my sister in Tennesee. Saw the family Jan 3rd and had a nice break from school. Zumba classes continue though the numbers of participants has gotten smaller. I attribute it to winter weather. I can't wait til Spring and being able to run outdoors again!! Come April 1st I will be back to tutoring part-time and I will be actively looking for a full-time teaching position for next fall, though I do like chaddock. We'll see....keep fit! love Amy
