I'm a gadget freak, so my motivation is from a Garmin Forerunner 305. Being able to get home after a run, plog the 305 in a cradle and then see how much I stuck to my workout or how much above or below my last pace I was is awesome. Might be worth looking in to if you need that extra bit of motivation. ;) Hey Mur, I’ve been restarting running as well… I’m a gadget freak, so my motivation is from a Garmin Forerunner 305.

I ended up getting an iTouch for my birthday. And then I found out about the Nike+ integration (www.nikeplus.com) so actually went out and bought a pair of nike shoes and the sensor. so now that i've got all this time and money invested I'd better use it!I'm still playing around with it, the sensor is pretty much a pedometer that links to the iTouch wifi, but it seems like it's pretty accurate. And now I get to compare myself with others, see my workouts, join various challenges (5 miles a week, fastest mile, etc.) and if they end up coming out with a wordpress widget I'm definitely putting it on my blog.The voice of the coach is a bit annoying, but it's got the "powersong"The link below is one of my walk/runs during lunch last week in the gym.http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/?l=runners,runs,943506966,runID,1144500797If there's any other mur bitches out there I'd love to join a running group and we can all get in shape together - every bit of encouragement helps!

Way to go, and you'll get back into shape in no time. I just started back running myself, after being sporadic for months.

I quit smoking in 1992 (January 17, 1992, to be exact), and the only times I want to light back up are when I haven't been able to run for a while. Not sure why, but if I go a week without a run, I start dreaming about smoking again. Good for you.

I've also lost some weight unintentionally this month, but in my case it's a good thing. Whenever that happens, I try to talk myself into exercising more to keep it off. I also seem to get the exercise bug around the time that a new season of Biggest Loser starts. If only I could stick to exercising for more than a couple weeks . . . Good for you!
