Hi brok! Please do join us! Your idea is a great one. Is that even an option for challenges though? I honestly don't know. I'll dig a little deeper though and maybe we can do that one for next month if it's possible! Yeah!Quote:

I bought the same one referenced above through Amazon. It works GREAT. Before that (lol) I was duct taping it to my shoe tongue. Didn't work QUITE as well, but was generally effective enough! They LIE.. don't have to buy the shoes. I even read somewhere the directions someone posted to cut out a spot under the insoles of your shoes and put it in there. I'm not that brave!:pQuote:
""I was looking at the Nike+ ipod on the REI site, and it says that the "sensor will only work in enabled Nike+ shoes". So that's not true?""
Forgot to tell you all - my Nike ID is RoadRunner5
Thanks AKA Brok
That would be great! I will look into the "time challenge" for next month for sure. The more participants the merrier for sure! Here we go!Quote:

I needed shoes anyway and I just lucked out because the Nike+ ones happened to be the best fit running shoe I tried on and cheaper then the other pair I was considering so I went with the Nike+. Nice to not have to worry about where my chip is now.
Tiffany - 100 miles in 8 weeks that's awesome!
As far as what type of challenge for the next one... I'm fine with whatever. It doesn't have to be distance. I don't run that far either I'm still doing a learn walk/run, but I also walk a lot so my miles tend to be higher then other beginners.
Way to go everyone! We're off to a GREAT start!
I've finally made my purchase, now I just have to get things up and running. Which I can't do likely until tomorrow. Which seems to be giving me permission to be lazy today. ;) ha ha ha. Can't wait to start playing with my new toy!
That's awesome! It is a breeze to work so you'll have it going in no time. Now all you need to do is come join our challenge. We mainly use it for motivation and to help keep each other going! Come play with us!!!
Yeay Poss! Come join us!
Well, I bit. I bought a new iPod (been looking for an excuse to get one) and the Nike+ sensor and the shoe pouch mentioned above. Today I went out for a walk, and it was fun having all the data in front of me. Haven't figured out the uploading business, and I don't know if I will, but this thing is cool!
I think now that I am running a bit longer miles, I am suspecting that the milage on my nikeplus is a bit off... and unfortunately in the wrong direction! I'd say that when it says 6 miles, I say about 5.5 to 5.75. I'll have to play with the thing and see if I can get it closer. Funny -- I didn't have to calibrate my first sensor at all. But I had to get a new one recently, and this is where the trouble began. Has anyone calibrated theirs? Easy to do? I'll have to dig out the instructions. Hate that!:(
Tiffany: Where have you been? Hope all is okay. Just haven't seen any miles under your posting.... maybe my viewer thing not working?
Hey Jes, thanks for thinking of me. Things got a little crazy in my world for a bit. After my 5k on March 22nd I had a family situation that kept me from running for a little bit. I ran today though for the first time since then and it felt great. I'm going to try to keep as many miles under my belt as possible as we get into cycling season and all. I'm sure you ladies know how that goes. I'm so sorry I fell off the challenge near the end. Do you guys want to do it again? I can start the challenge tomorrow (4/2)!!! Let me know!Quote:
