Encouragement for you Beginner Runners!

Cool!! I did a 3 mile walk/run. I went to Disney yesterday to see some marathon friends and want a metal so badly!! I can't wait!!

You totally want the medals, they are so amazing you'll want to buy a medal rack for them!

Regarding the FitBit, I have the Fitbit Force and it's been great. It's a little bit hard to learn how to snap it on reliably but afterwards, it feels like you are wearing nothing. I got 9 days out of one charge and that is with it continuously automatically syncing with my iphone and home PC.

Have you had a problem with the Force? I saw online some people are having a skin reaction. My flex hasn't bothered me at all and I am really liking the app for my food/steps

I have not had any issues with the Fitbit Force. However I do know that those with an allergy to nickel can have a mild skin reaction due to the metallic components near the screen and charging port. It integrates well with myfitnesspal as well which is a nice perk. Also to answer another question I had: I do wear it in the shower and it does just fine. I would not swim with it though due to the open recess for the charging port on the back of the display.
