In terms of addictions, my latest seems like one of the good ones to have. It seems as if I have become addicted to running. The biggest problem with something like this is simple motivation. I bought a Nike+, a device that connects to my iPod Nano and tracks my runs. Distance, time, pace, and even calories burned are some of the stats it collects. Once you sync your iPod, it downloads your runs to Nike's website where you can compete in challenges and track your progress. I found Nike's website to be somewhat buggy. I found www.Runnerplus.com to be a much better alternative.
For a novice runner, I have impressed myself. In the half-month that I have had my Nike+, I have run just over 42km. Seems fairly decent?

good for you ty! wish i could do that! i just started on my treadmill and so far i'm dying after about 15 minutes! haha!
I started running a while back also. I know what you mean with the motivation, I use a Garmin Forerunner with heart rate monitor, it really does help to know how far you go and all that other stuff. I lost 30lbs since the last time you seen me. I bet you feel really good after a run, don't ya? Addicting.
