A Year of Running (Away)....


I think I just walked the dog to get this one.

...well, actually its been more than a year...at least taking up Running using Nike+ devices (& apps) and shoes (pictured below). Yeah, yeah...I know I could have used different brands and other gear but I wanted to be consistent with my "style" and somehow belong to a very particular global community (they have minions all over the world...haha)
Nike+Sportband & Sensor
Nike Sporty Sunglasses (with Transition Lens)
My Sportband & HRM (Heart-Rate Monitor) watch
They do have minions! And of course below is my very "first" Nike+ shoe:


Nike Air Max Edge (got a sensor hole inside)

And "the many"....(others that followed):
L-R: Airmax Elite (basketball), Pegasus+28 (running), ACG Rongbuk (for trail hiking),Dual Fusion TRII (cross-training) & the Revolution I (for sprints) Not in picture: Takos Mid (hiking boots) & Lunarglide 3 (running) 
"Running" has given me some sort of...(i know this is gonna sound cliché) "escape", but it did somehow put me back on the right track (again, another cliché ;) to focus my energies (the little that I have) and at the very least got me fit (a little bit ---my gout hasn't acted as frequently since I got into the groove of things). I admit though, im starting to slow down a now (not that I was that fast in the first place) but Im gonna plough through a little bit more at least till I get all the Nike+ badges (I'm still waiting for my Stormproof badge :(
