Technological Motivation for Exercise... Who'da Thunk?

Thanks to a friend at work who shall remain unnamed, I have just discovered that technology can actually motivate me to exercise! In keeping with my generation's love of all things "Me," having a tiny, all knowing, all telling electronic companion strapped to the top of my foot makes me feel a bit more inclined to actually step out the door in my spandex pants, oversize t-shirt and - yes - running shoes!

As a result, check out my new Niki+ Mini recently added to my right-hand nav bar. That's me! Nevermind the blue skin and pink hair, my favorite part is the blissfully happy expression plastered on "my" face while "I" exercise... Yes, I made my Mini the complete opposite of what I look like when I run.

And, below my pop-locking, unicycle-riding, ping-pong playing Mini, are my actual running stats logged by my little shoelace pocket companion. Now we get to see just how long into the new year this techno-motivation will last!
