This is my last 5 runs, all of which were in the last week. For anyone who doesn’t know what Nike+ is, it’s both a sensor which tracks your speed/distance ran, plus a really full featured website which displays your info in a really cool way. Check out my Nike+ homepage to see what I’m talking about. I especially like how you can set up either goals for yourself, or compete with other Nike+ users using the Challenge tab.
I’ve tried to get into shape many times before, but alway found running to be way too boring. But with Nike+ pausing the music and telling me how I’m doing, it makes it a lot more fun and engaging. Another app I’m running simultaniously is “Couch to 5k” which is meant to get you from being totally out of shape to running a 5k run (which is about 3 miles) without walking within 6 weeks.
I’ll post a more indepth review of the apps I’ve been using to get in shape, plus maybe some running playlist suggestions later. It feels good to be getting into shape again!
That’s was my first thought when I heard someone talking about the “stanky leg” the other day. So I looked around a little bit and found this stanky leg site with all kinds of videos of people doing the move. I have to say, at first it seems pretty lame, but some people can actually do it pretty well. It kind of reminds me of the Cupid Shuffle or the C Walk, which if done right can look really cool. I was also pretty surprised when I did a quick check of home many time “stanky leg” was googled. Even though yesterday was the first time I’ve ever heard of it, there are 73,000 google searches on average every month.
Doin the stanky leg
Unfortunately, after trying myself for a little while, I gave up. I don’t want to look like these guys out on the dance floor :P
Edit: Right after I wrote this, I happened to hear the song on the radio for the first time. So maybe it’s just starting to get popular. Even though it’s kind of cool for now, I have a feeling that this one is going the way of the Macarena sooner rather than later. Either way, check it out, it’s at least good for a few laughs when you see the people who totally suck record themselfs and then upload it to YouTube. What are they thinking?
Head on over to Bookmaker.com where people are flocking to put their real cash on the line after seeing the beaten photos of Rihanna recenly leaked from the LAPD. Bookmaker.com says that before the photos became public, the odds were a considerably different.
“In fact, betters are reportedly getting $1.12 back for every $1 bet if Brown gets jail time, while those who wagered $1 on Brown not getting any jail time will get back $2.35.
Or -850 for the singer serving time, against +130 that that he will escape incarceration.
The site says that odds were a lot different before the unauthorized post-incident LAPD photo, with the odds increasing after its leak.”
