I had to give it a try. (>_<)
I could not let go of this week's runs without attempting for Nike Fuel Mission no. 5 (my 11th attempt, btw) cause its the only Mission I have not gone over the 1,000 NikeFuel point mark (it stands, or rather, "stuck" at 883/825 @Medium level). The thing about this particular Mission#5 is that while one "only" needs 1250 NikeFuel points (something which I can do running at my "comfortable" pace --around 9:30mins/mile non-stop for 3-4miles), it requires that you finish the Mission, in "only" 30minutes (or less). Mathematically (and I'm no math wizard), I simply have not figured out the right pace yet (or im just not able to execute it) to run the Mission in which I can finish 3.3-3.5 miles in 30 minutes or less (preferably, less) coz if I end it at exactly or a little more than 30minutes, the scoring would be off (at least in my previous attempts)....And, did I mention that all NikeMissions are pass or fail missions? That means you either reach the minimum required NikeFuel points or it won't credit the points at all even if you miss it by a small margin (which drives me a bit crazy but makes sense to me). The closest I got was "42" more as blogged here...which was surprisingly not that heart-breaking. I suspect there is a "minus" for going over the 30minute mark though (at least in my previous attempts). In any case, here's my result for this week, using a Nike+ Sportband:

| Ugh! (>_<) Close..."79" more and I would have gotten it (that'd be like .10miles more or about 30 seconds more of running. In my defense, I did "run" a "half-marathon" yesterday ;-) Oh well, chalk it up to another learning experience |
Keep it up! Don't give in, the attempts will definitely be worth it in the end.
