“Nike+iPod Sport Kit”
I enjoyed using it for awhile until it start slipping in fat jokes.
“C’mon tubby! Just one more mile you fat loser!”
3 million miles? 3 million sold?
One mile per runner average?
Question,
Obviously, not every Nike+ shoe has a Nike+iPod Sport Kit attached.
And obviously not every Nike+iPod Sport Kit has a Nike+shoe either

I love the Nike+ Sport Kit, but those shoes are horrible. I bought the Nike+ sport attachment pouch from MarWare and didn’t bother with those terrible shoes.
I bet more have these will be sold than zunes…
Love the running one but would be thrilled with one for my bike!! Come on Lance Armstrong, you know you want one on your bike, you didn’t win the NY Marathon…
“Love the running one but would be thrilled with one for my bike!!”
Combination GPS & iPod Bike Computer?! Oh man, I would be so there.

I detest how cumbersome it is to use the device without sharing data with Nike. If I’m wrong, tell me how.
Dang, I’ve been racking up the miles,,,Ya’ll need to get up off those a$$es!
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />
Ahh, I see now. I’m slow. Thanks!
who’s to say you have to share your real name with Nike or you could create 8 logins and enter “data” for nine different users? Or attach it to your dog in your backyard
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” /> You could log in from work or home or some other log in point – I mean, sure 60% of the reason Nike does it is to collect data but 40% is that while they could crate or sell software that runs on your machine but that takes a lot more effort and tech support for disribution – having it run as a web app also saves them a lot of tech support issues and they can do an upgrade for everyone all at once …
I did my part this morning. 8 km (5 miles), 137 km since mid November.
Nike+iPod has really helped me get back into running afte I injured my Achilles tendon earlier this year, and is a lot more fun to work out with than a pulse monitor watch.
My running shoe company is striking a deal with MS.
Homer Shoes + Zune will compete with and beat Nike + iPod
Thanks Apple for paving the road for us.
Doh….I made a funny.
I did my part, too.
I have logged 100.49 miles (161.73 km) since late August.
“I have logged 100.49 miles (161.73 km) since late August.”
Wow! That’s cool. But aren’t you a long way from home now?
Nike knows where you’ve been. The truth is hidden in a chip in your shoe.
Dale. No it doesn’t. I always use different shoes and I pack Zune, when I go to the 5 men gay orgies.

I’ve 27km with the sensor thingy in 18 days, so I think I’ll break the 50km line before new year. At least I’ll try.
I don’t get the horrible shoes thing. Zoom Plus is the best pair I’ve ever had, they settled in 10 kilometres. Those plus models are regular nike models, at least I think.
MW: body. Take care of your body. It’s a temple or something…
I think mine’s defective. The voice of the personal workout coach sounds like Mr. Wienermayer, my high school gym coach. It keeps yelling at me and calling me a pussy. I’m tired of running laps. And I could swear it’s watching me shower.
Is there a version for motivating streetwalkers? They get a lot of mileage.
My personal coach is a woman.
Everytime I hear the “halfway point”, it’s like hearing “fresh pussy”.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”LOL” style=”border:0;” />
MW: expected. as in, my comments are as low as expected.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”LOL” style=”border:0;” />
146 KM since the beginning of November. No Nike+ shoes, though. They suck. Really.
