New Balance Fitness Monitor Wins 2008 Gear Award
This just in!
The N5 Max Training Monitor has just won the 2008 Great Gear of the Year Award from shapeyou.com! This monitor is perfect for runners in training for specific events; 5K's, marathons, etc.
The monitor is fitness and health focused with an exercise calorie count, heart monitor capabilities, and a target zone visual alert to keep you on track towards your goals.
And the heart monitor chest strap is included with the N5!
I have heard once you run with a monitor you will never go back to running without; I'm sure with these easy to use features, it will be hard to run with anything else!

Music at your Fingertips...and While Running!
There are some new and exciting additions to the Lace Up for the Cure collection; check out the MP3 Holders from New Balance!
I've seen these "holders" at other retailers but none of them have the user-friendly features that these holders offer. The holders have a clear screen so you can monitor your song choice, a comfy adjustable arm band, and a space for the MP3 dial.
With other music holders and devices, you almost have to stop in your tracks to get the song you want...meanwhile your PR time flies by...well not anymore!
Try these new holders and let us know what you think.
And as an added bonus, New Balance will donate 15% of wholesale sales from the Lace Up for the Cure® Collection to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. See site for additional details on contributions and how New Balance is taking the lead to help find a cure for Breast Cancer.

Top 10 Nutrition Myths
I subscribe to active.com e-mail alerts. Active.com is a website geared towards people with active/athletic lifestyles; you'll find training tips, nutrition guides, a little bit of everything fitness. Every now and again I will get articles about various health and fitness related topics sent to my inbox. This morning, the Top 10 Nutrition Myths were waiting for me in my e-mail and wow was I surprised.
Some of these myths shocked me...for example; for years I have been told by friends, parents, and Oprah to never eat anything after 8:00 PM; if you eat after 8:00, you will get fat. But after reading this article, that is certainly not the case...you just have to read it to believe it.
This article also covers other topics like the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids, the root of food cravings and white vs. dark bread. These myths are skewed towards the female audience, but some can be taken across the gender lines.
Have a look and let us know what you think, you might be just as surprised as I was.

New NB Zips for Spring
The new spring Zips have arrived!
Check out the new line of NB Zips for spring.
While designed mostly for the young, neutral runner, the NB Zips deliver a responsive ride and durable cushioning.
The women's colors are very light and perfect for spring, while the men's Zips are sleek and stylish with bold colors. My favorite of these colors has to be the WR8508WB; I love the soft green.
NB Zips are both functional and fashionable, so check out the new colors and try something new for spring. You can also find these new Zips for kids, too!
