nike fuelband

i once heard a girl on a bus talking ( loudly ) on her mobile phone to

a friend. she said something which kind of made me laugh.

it was along the lines of "well i would go swimming but before i do i need

to buy a waterproof walkman"

i think her friend was nagging her to do some exercise and her reasoning was

that the only thing preventing her was her lack of a waterproof walkman.

fast forward a few years and i'd been putting off going to the gym for ages.

until...

i treated myself to a nike fuelband a week or so ago.

of course i had to buy the limited edition clear version

but anyway, it's doing it's job of challenging me to get fit.

for those who are interested, yesterday i went to the gym and did

30 press-ups straight. 

a slow improvement but an improvement nevertheless.

running is another matter though. i still only manage to run for 20

minutes before collapsing like tottenham's premiership campaign.

you see, what i need to go running is a new pair of nike flyknits...

... what ?
