The Nike+ running sensor that you use with your iPod nano is a big hit. I’ve been using mine for a week, and love it.

My coworkers Jamey, Summer, Donald, and I ran today in the Keep Austin Weird 5K. It felt good to participate in my first official run event since I ran/walked the Capitol 10K back in 1983, as a UT sophomore. While I have a ways to go to really consider myself a “runner,” I am in better shape now than I was in college.

Update:
My time was 39:30 (12:39/mile).
I placed 41st in my age/gender group, and 664th overall.

How did my friends do?
Jamey 40:33
Summer 35:24
Donald 23:12

Reuters reports that new study findings suggest more than one in three individuals in the United States has diabetes or impaired fasting glucose, a condition that increases the risk of developing diabetes. That’s just downright scary.

I’m glad to see Apple branching out a bit with some new iPod ideas.

I’ve been suffering from acid reflux for a few years. It has been getting progressively worse. I finally went to my doctor about it this month, and a a result I had my first upper GI exam today. I don’t have the official results, but you know it is going to be serious when the technician says, “Good luck with that.”
