Gyms of the Future???

I was looking up some Nike+ sensor info for a friend when I stumbled upon this Nike+ feature on the Apple website.

Take Nike + iPod to the gym and minute by minute, mile by mile, you’re motivated by more than music. Connect your iPod nano, iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, or iPhone 4 to your cardio machine. Record your pace, time, and distance as you work out. And every trip to the gym becomes a new challenge.

Where to go. What to use.

Head to a select 24 Hour Fitness (U.S.) or Virgin Active (Europe) health club. Jump on a Nike + iPod compatible treadmill, elliptical machine, stair stepper, or stationary bike. Connect your iPod nano, iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, or iPhone 4. And take your workout to a whole new level. Nike + iPod Gym Locator

Innnnteresting. It also charges your ipod too so no dealing with a dead battery.

Comments Question

Is there a way for nontumblr users (like my IRL friends) to comment on my tumblr posts – even if it is as anon?

UPDATE:Thanks for the quick responses. So non tumblrites you can you use Disqus – it should pop up when you click comment. You may need to register for it or I think you can comment without registering – if anon feel free to sign your message so I know who it is from.

Boosterthon Fun Run

One of my former students just got a job working with Boosterthon – I checked out the website it looks really cool. It’s a fundraiser and a fitness event!

For those of you with kids in school or that work at a school I would suggest checking out this site. It looks really awesome. My former student is a stellar guy and I’m sure this is a stellar program.

From their website: The Boosterthon Fun Run is more than an elementary school fundraiser. It’s more than a walk-a-thon. The Boosterthon Fun Run is fundraising and so much more!

With the Boosterthon Fun Run, the student is the star! Imagine a program that wraps Fitness, Leadership, and Character together in an unforgettable experience tailored for your school’s campus. Your students learn that fitness is fun as they prepare for the day of the Boosterthon Fun Run. Character lessons come to life as Boosterthon Fun Run team members creatively illustrate integrity, honesty, and caring. Students also learn about what it means to be a leader during the nine day experience. Some schools pay thousands of dollars for expensive character education programs. With the Boosterthon Fun Run, it’s just part of what we do.

The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things you do. They’ll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I’m not saying you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action. And you will! But never forget, that on any day, you could step out the front door, and your whole life could change forever. You see the Universe has a plan kids; and that plan is always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings, and it starts to rain. It’s a scary thought, but it’s also kind of wonderful. All these little parts of the machine constantly working… Making sure that you end up exactly where you’re supposed to be…exactly when you’re supposed to be there. The right place. At the right time.

has anyone ever told you you look like Lean Remini? I was watching the king of queens today and thought so! :)

Why yes I do get that I look like this picture ALL THE TIME.

I WISH. I have never gotten Leah Remini before. I don’t generally get celebrity look alikes. I got Kate Winslet circa Titantic a few times back in the day and once I got Montana from Real World Boston and flipped out in horror. SO in the grand scheme of things I’ll gladly take Leah Remini.

Come to think of it recently my sister said the main girl on Fringe could be my twin, especially our eyes. I sort of see it, her name is Anna Torv I just googled her.

*That was only my second anon message ever!! Exciting, but you don’t have to be shy!
