Two on Tuesday


I finally got a FitBit.  I'd been thinking about getting one for almost a year and I finally did it.  Now that I have, I love it!  I can't believe I waited so long to get one!  I am obsessed with hitting my 10,000 steps every day.  On run days, it is not a problem at all; but on none run days it does take some effort.  I go for a walk at lunch or get off the subway a stop earlier.  I am pretty active, but it's still a good reminder.


Surprisingly, most of the Tinker Bell races are still open a week later (as of writing this: Tinker Bell Half, Pixie Dust Challenge, Neverland 5K).  It's a much slower sell out than normal for Tink (or lately, any runDisney races).  I think it's a combination of things - Mother's Day Weekend, college graduations, more runDisney races in general.  It worked out well for me - I actually ended up registering for the Neverland 5K over the weekend.  Even though it's super early (5 am!) and 4 early mornings (flight, 5K, 10K, Half), I am still excited for it.  This one starts on Main Street in Disneyland and ends on Paradise Pier - which is really the whole reason I signed up.  Should be a really good time - I can't wait for May now!

Help me decide!

Fitbit Flex or Up by Jawbone?

I really want a one of the fitness and sleep trackers.  I am such a data nerd (I love reviewing my garmin data) and I really enjoyed tracking my data when I was doing my step challenge through work so this is obviously right up my alley.

The only problem now is - which one to get?  The two main ones are the Fitbit Flex and Up by Jawbone.  I've been doing some research on both and I can't decide.    I feel like they both have there pluses and minuses so it's hard to make a decision.

I know a lot of people out there have one or the other (or have tried one of them) and I'd love to get your opinion on what you like (or don't like) about either.

Please help me decide!
