Any Nike+ iPod owners?

[Tiffany]

Hey all,

I did a search before posting this but had no luck so I thought I would go ahead and ask ... Do any of you own the Nike+ iPod system? It's that chip that goes in your shoe and the transponder that goes on the bottom of your iPod? Just curious. I've used mine since Christmas and absolutely love it. The website lets you track all kinds of information and you can set personal goals and join world wide challenges. It's actually really neat. Anyway, just curious if anyone else was using it. I thought we might join a challenge together or something.

Hi! I have been using it for about a year. I didn't buy the shoes, but have the ipod and nike-plus, and got a neat little leather thing to stick it in on my shoelaces. Love it, Love it, Love it! I would love to do a TE challenge! Would be fun to see us all logged on one chart. I'm in!!! Just tell me when.

Sweet! Let's see how many more people respond to this thread and then maybe we'll get a challenge going just to keep us all motivated!

I'm in if you guys decide to set up a challenge. Been using mine since Jan. Was sticking it in my shoe, but I finally needed new shoes and was lucky that the "correct" pair also happened to be a nike+ pair! Woo Hoo!

Have one and use it all the time. I'm up for a challenge - anything to keep me focused on my workouts right now, winter is dragging on and on and on - well, you get the idea

[Tiffany]

Great! This is good. I'll shoot out a couple of options and you guys let me know which one you want. When I get it set up I'll let you know.

1. Most miles in 30 days
2. Most miles in 60 days
3. First person to 50 miles
4. First person to 100 miles

Any other sugguestions?

[Tiffany]

Bump.

How about most miles in 30 days? or 60 days?
I'll be in! I won't win, but it's always helpful to join a challenge.

I agree 100% about challenges being helpful. And that's the whole reason I want to do this. It's not about who is actually going to win, but about having something to keep yourself motivated! Okay, I think I will set up a challenge for "The most miles in 30 days." If we all like it we can do another for the next 30 days. Since March has 31 days I might have the challenge start March 1st and go for 31 days. If all goes well we'll start another challenge for April or something like that. Sound okay?

Alright guys, I set up the challenge. It starts March 1st. Woo Hoo. This should be a blast! If your name is different on the Nike site, let us know who you are when you sign up. Let's rock 'n roll!

Oooo makes me want to run tomorrow, but I have a swimming lesson for my Tri training.

Although, I have to walk there and back so I'll get to include those miles!

I know! I am leaving town at 7:00 am tomorrow morning and won't be back until Sunday night so I won't get a run in until Monday evening! That's okay, I always get giddy about starting challenges. I did complete a goal I had set today though! I was so excited. It was the first goal I had set for myself and I made it ... 100 miles in 8 weeks.

Alright ladies, I'm excited!

Just wondering if most minutes in 30 days would be better since everyone runs/jogs at a different pace and therefore doesnt' cover the same mileage but is putting in the training? either way, I'm in - a challenge definitely keeps me motivated.

Hi! I have been using it for about a year. I didn't buy the shoes, but have the ipod and nike-plus, and got a neat little leather thing to stick it in on my shoelaces.

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?
