I have no idea if I run fast or slow anymore. I’ve been out of the Marines for 11 years now and I don’t have access to accurate three-mile courses to see how my run times are affected by my efforts.

My workout partner suggested the new Nikeplus system that integrates with the IPOD. Check out the video on the website. I think this technology is a great idea–especially for those of us that aren’t required to run physical fitness tests anymore but understand the benefits of maintaining the standards.
