cleared customs and on their way

my gear from salomon should show up tomorrow.  i spent some time this morning taking care of the customs details with fedex and they said that barring any flight delays, the package should be delivered tomorrow.  PERFECT!

i have another pct run planned for saturday and i can't wait to try out the shoes on the trails.  the other thing i'm excited about is the nokia sports tracker website.  seriously, this thing is cool.  with the n82 and the sports tracker software, not only am i tracking my workout, but it is uploading the information in real time to the site.  this means that if i share the workout, anyone can watch my progress.  this is such a cool concept!  it's cool how connected items like this can make you.  now i can just twitter that i'm starting my workout, pass a tinyurl in the tweet to the sports tracker website and presto, instant entertainment.  because, c'mon, we all now how exciting watching a dot move around a map is! 

seriously, though, from a safety perspective, this a great tool.  now, in addition to letting loved ones know where you're going to be running, they can check on your status in real time.  maybe this is what i need to keep my mom from panicking when i take too long on a run in the arizona desert.

So, you could even go as far as creating gps art (eg. www.theworldismycanvas.com)for someone to view remotely IN REAL TIME?

Cool!

I had no idea you had some Teitur in your collection - great album, that!

Woah! Cool! I'm sure that would be really useful in wilds of Iowa!

oooh. So like next time you decide to stop and eat a mountain, we'll have the exact coordinates of where to go back and look for your teeth?
