Valentine's Day Challenge that Bridges the Physical and Digital

Another cool feature from Nike + -- If you run a 5k this Valentine's Day, February 14th, and upload your run to Nike+, you will get to see how you matched up against other people in the challenge.

You will have 24 hours to record your 5k -- I will be competing, you should join the challenge too.





Also...

I just love these scrapable widgets!

They're such a good viral idea.



You need Nike + to participate.

Joining the resolution: Nike Plus scrapable Flash widget

I heart Flash widgets. Now you can post a widget with your 2008 running goals on your blog or website like so:



Of course you must be a Nike+ user to use it. If you haven't seen Nike+, you should check it out (nikeplus.com)--it's my favorite thing Nike has ever done, product-wise, and a project whose precursor, NikeRunning.com, I worked on at R/GA.

Only problems with this widget is the "xx day remaining" which should be DAYS, and the fact that this is a monthly goal which is part of a new year's resolution doesn't appear anywhere on the widget.

(my goal: to run the NY marathon in under 5 hours!!)

Here's a screenshot of the site:

VIVA LA RESOLUTION!

Baby Ticker Flash Widget

I'm not pregnant but everyone else seems to be, and I've been seeing this nifty widget around. It shows you what stage your baby is in its development in the womb.

However, don't change the size, I tried to make it bigger and a very disturbing growth appeared, which I suppose was the umbilical cord but nevertheless I don't recommend messing with the size!!
