Anyone with a Nike+ iPod thing want to do one of these? Im thinking first to 100 km by the end of , I dunno February?
Im not much of a sprinter so this is for the less serious among you that use this, just post here if you want to take part and then we can keep everyone up to date on the progress. I need the motivation during the winter months and kicking Chuckers ass in a race is just the medicine! Then PM me your Nike+ name so I can invite you. |

Sure Farenheit, buy me an iPod nano and the Nike+iPod kit for Christmas and we'll do it.

When's this thing starting? I was going to go for a run soon and I'd like to get started. I'd hate to waste a good run.

My new year's resolution is to eat healthier but especially to get more exercise. (And to learn how to spell "exercise," too.) I'm thinking about getting myself a Nike + iPod kit and some Nike + running shoes. (Buying things tends to keep me motivated. ) But Nike shoes are so pricey...I'm probably going to sound really ignorant here, but $100 for shoes seems really expensive to me. But I need some running shoes. My current shoes are barely fit for walking.
and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

I dont have Nike+ shoes. Partly because they aren't readily available to me in the middle of England, but mostly because they start at about £80 for standard trainers. I might get some at some point (as my trainers are falling apart) but not at the mo.
I just selottape and string mine to the top of my trainers. Easy. Sorry, trainers = Sneakers/ Shoes. |

I know that you don't have to get Nike+ shoes for the Nike + iPod kit. But I do want to get good running shoes. I don't want to kill my ankles or anything.
EDIT: Ha, I posted before I saw chucker's post. OK, chucker...what are some good running shoes? and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Alright, I'll do it. I want to be more active and need to be, so count me in. I actually bought the kit with the hopes it would "make me" more active. Now I'll have the chance. The last time I ran was a while ago, so I don't think I'll take the lead, but you never know.

I have those Nike Frees also. They do kill your ankles, but I hear that eventually they build up strength in your feet. Im not feeling it

Thanks for the widget.
I'm having an issue with my Nike+ name. I'll have it sorted out soon. The sight won't let me enter my login information. I'll try with Firefox and see if it's just a Safari glitch.

In the widget, I think you have to enter your email address rather than your username.
Im actually thinking that the challenge will be how many miles you can do before end of February instead of who can be first to 100 km. That way we don't have to feel bad if none of us get to 100 km! |

Can I just say that I hate Nike+'s site.

Roboman: if you're not running more than 5 miles at a time, your shoes won't matter *that* much. I've got a pair of old running shoes that I got for $40 last year from Dicks that have been fine. No foot problems or anything.
I used some velcro with adhesive on both sides. Put it under my laces and on top of my tongue. It works *great* and I can't even tell I've got it in. Just make sure to calibrate the sensor after you do this for accuracy. If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong. |

As for "always looking to create barriers", that is indeed a strange behaviour pattern of mine. In any case, a kind man PM'd me with an offer; let's see how that pans out. |
