I hope to get back at this when it's warmer. I just joined a health club on Monday so I'll be focusing on indoor stuff and just getting in better shape.
- that's good.
We could certainly use more competition on Challenge 8.VectorMasked - I joined a gym 2 weeks ago too... so i'm down for 8 as well!joyride
- that's good.

- I have a rubbery generic brand, that I got for like 5 bucks at the mall, and I strap it to my hand so I can pause skipMeeklo
- yeah? nice. I had a no name 10-dollar band that rocked. But it was from ebay. I can't wait another 2 weeks for delivery...VectorMasked
- so... I decided to just pick whatever I could find around here. Thing is I've heard mixed reviews on both of these bandsVectorMasked

I predict Dancer will get pretty darn close to flutter 6 days before it ends and flutter will go like "oh no you didn't", and will run like the wind in the last few hours of this challenge.

I'm starting up with my other groups March 20th, so I'm down for #8.
Still the worst to have on your team as I run short distances, haha.

I feel your frustration Vector. My first 6 mile run of the challenge didn't count because I didn't hit "end workout" properly. Stupid gadgets. So, I gave you 5 days on me V - its on like donkey kong.
- haha! I know what you mean. I made many nOOb mistakes at first. Remember being all excited after a 6km run...VectorMasked
- which was awesome for me 8 months ago. At the end I was like "Sweet! Pressed the button and realized I didn't even start itVectorMasked
- Not even the music had started. But I was all pumped simply for trying to get back in shape. Total dumbass here :o)VectorMasked
- My error at first was that I always forgot to end my workout. This is why my pace is still in 6:44 or something.VectorMasked
- yeah, I thought i did a sub 9 min mile today, then when i tried to end my workout, it took 5 minutes. So frustrating. I tried your reboot technique, which made the wheel work better when i started, but I had the same issue when I ended my workout. :( I'm going to take it into apple and see if there's anything they can do.flutter

- mcLeod0
- very fancy!Meeklo
- not my thing really. I have got to be able to show off and flex my arms every 100 m. Gotta get the chicks to look at me...VectorMasked
- Meeklo0
yeah, I'm fairly new to the 10k club.
I can't do it all non stop yet, I made a few stops along the way but I hope to eliminate that in the next 3 months or so
- Meeklo0

So now that this thread has turned into a music thread...
Anybody know of any artists with a similar sound as Aphex Twin?
Just got some Squarepusher last nite. It rocks.
Or possibly something mellow like Mogwai or Sigur Ros.kthxbye.
- boards of canadabrandelec

Well this is just great!
The damn sensor does not want to get calibrated.
Did a 8km run but the damn sensor read it as a 6.1km. No breaks no slowing down. :o( At one point the damn sensor read that I ran a single kilometre in 12 minutes when I actually had the speed to complete this kilometre in 5:30 mins. This fricking blows.And to make things worse, It snowed a little today ;o(
This won't help at all in attempting to rerererecalibrate the sensor.- are you sure the sensor was not loose on the shoe?
maybe you just need a new oneMeeklo - No. Everything is like before. Sensor has not been removed from the shoe. Receiver is well connected... weird.VectorMasked
- are you sure the sensor was not loose on the shoe?
- flutter0
Dancer! dammit, you made me run hungover this morning in 30 degrees.
- Meeklo0
I never used one of those wristbands, I kinda like the voice feedback
- flutter0
oh and I'm new to QBN. I used to read the blog when it was newstoday.
- flutter0
What site did you make it on? I made a wee a long time ago...

That's a pretty good list.
If we only had less injuries and more consistency this would be pretty tight. For example SelfProclaim and aiceee can certainly do more. And mattiaBK is certainly a great runner. Hopefully his knee problems stop bothering him.
Good job everybody.
*goes to bed*
Tonsils suck!
