In the midst of my training for the Wasatch Back my Nike+ decided it would rather die than keep on, keepin' on.
I had just joined a family group on the Nike+ website.
No recorded runs for me.
Last night I finally decided to calibrate my Nike+ -- in hopes of making my runs more accurate -- but to no avail. "Connecting to receiver" was all that would come up as I started my run. Nothing would work. I toook the sensor out of my shoe, pushed the button -- nothing.
I was disgusted with the device.
Brian's battery in his sensor died a few weeks ago and I was not about to buy another Nike+.
"I'll just do without," I thought.
I"m not totally attached to the system. I just wanted to record my fastest 5K.
Anyway, back at home, Bri took a look.
"Yeah, that's exactly what happened to mine."
Gonner. Not exactly the best news.
But wait -- what did I notice this morning?! My receiver sitting on top of our microwave!
That must be Bri's.
Wait a minute -- I took that out to charge my iPod the other night -- and never plugged it back in!
Hallelujah!
Anyway, now that that is solved -- I'm planning on running a marathon in October.
Anyone have good training tips?

Yeah I found your blog! I can't believe you are going to run a marathon. My sister is a big a runner and I'll never figure it out, you people are amazing!
May I suggest a little magic marker magic. Mark which receiver is your's and which is Bri's. It works. I promise.
I'm glad it's working. We expect some impressive times showing up in the WEPCo group. Is St. George a lottery marathon? I'll cross my fingers for you that you get in! (Crazy girl.)
Whitro! You are doing the Wasatch Back? So am I! What leg are you? What marathon are you doing in October?
