So it is Friday, which is not a post day. But after illness and then travel I thought a quick post was warranted.

February is wrapping up and it is still snowing here. This endless winter continues to make it difficult for me to train or even get excited to workout. So what is my motivation through it all? WHY ITS MY NIKE FUELBAND SE!!!! I want to point out that I have not been paid in any way to review or promote this product. It would be nice though, I'm not going to lie.

Word of warning - it will work by itself but the app is only available for Apple products, so sorry android users - reason 1450 to own an iPhone.

That being said, my little "bracelet" is one of the best motivation tools I have to keep moving. I am rewarded with virtual badges, connect with other users (a.k.a. converts) to hit group goals, and work towards personal achievement through movement.

There is a session button for those spinners and yogis to track a more accurate point measurement when you are moving without a lot of wrist action as well. I think I am in love.

I am also at the half way mark till my first half marathon, and I'm getting nervous. My pace is staying at an average 12:20, which is DAMN SLOW, but I keep telling myself I am in fact moving so suck it up and RUN. Today I hit 7.24 miles - the longest session I've clocked so far at 1'24''. Hopefully more speed drills and kickboxing sessions will keep up the strength needed to fix my speed.

Well, I'll check in tomorrow dear ones! And the message of the day? Never miss your flu shot.
