Timex recently asked us to review their new iPod-compatible Ironman i-Control sports watch. We’ve been having so much fun using these watches, we decided we ought to tell you all about them! (Sometimes we get products that are just not up to snuff, so we don’t tell you about those.)
You may remember my recent roundup of the absolute best fitness gadgets whether you are barefoot running or working out on the go (if you haven’t read these popular posts, you should!). I’m always on the lookout for new gear to improve my exercise experience. I also recently purchased my first iPod, so this smart watch came…just in time (cue groan at the pun).

Relax.
Lub-DUB, Lub-DUB. Lub-DUB, Lub-DUB.
Listen closely.
Lub-DUB, Lub-DUB.
That is the sound of your heart gently beating.
What an amazing machine. This involuntary muscle rhythmically thumps more than 10,000 times a day without you even giving it a passing thought. That works out to about 2.5 billion continuous beats in an average human life span.

When was the last time you left your house without shoes? Hard to say? When was the last time you ran without shoes? Summer, circa 12 years old? If you are to listen to the growing number of barefoot runners out there you are truly missing out.

Thanks to all of you who have participated in the fruit bowl submissions. We have several highly-edible produce pictures from you so far. (They sure look a lot better than mine. I am clearly camera-challenged. I’m waiting for the drug to fix this condition.) Next week we’ll be sharing them, so if you’d still like to participate, send those pics in! Just think: your fruit bowl could be famous! Contain your excitement, people.
The stirring post about the appalling choices we make – buying “fancy” water vs. saving a dying child from dehydration – gets an update. Aquafina: thumbs down.
Mark’s published some excellent and controversial (but of course) posts on fitness and sports around the web. For all you runners, ex-runners and fitness freaks, here’s a sampling, complete with teasers:
“There are three main points I want to make here: first, that it is impossible to fairly police and adjudicate drugs in sport; second, that the notion of a “level playing field” is a farce and, finally, that the performance requirements set by the federations at the elite level of sport almost demand access to certain “banned substances” in order to assure the health and vitality of the athlete throughout his or her career and – more importantly – into his or her life after competition.”
Sports and Health: Hardly Synonymous
“Since many people seem to think that athletes are almost by definition healthy, I thought I might develop that idea a bit further…
Please don’t misconstrue what I say here as advocating any sort abstinence from sports or from training. On the contrary, I believe sports of all types can play a huge role in personal development, self-awareness and self-image, and may even help mold long-lost community life-skills like sharing, mutual cooperation and loss acceptance. I will make a case that sports and other non-group recreational exercise activities can contribute greatly to health, longevity and the quality of life. But, as with all things in life, moderation seems to be the key.
I first became aware of the distinction between “fitness” and “health” when I was competing as a marathoner…”
