My First Nike+ Run
by Derek—2006.09.01 @ 1134
For our anniversary, I got Melissa an iPod Nano with the new Nike+ for runners. Since Melissa was home when the packages arrived, it wasn’t much of a surprise, but she was still very excited. This morning I took the Nano for a test run using the Nike+ receptor. Since I don’t have Nike+ shoes, I just cut out a divot in my old running shoes and then slipped in the tiny chip. Everything worked great.
The Nike+ system is awesome. By simply pushing the select button, a voice announced my current time, pace, and distance. And although I didn’t use it, the software also allowed me to select a “PowerSong” for when I need a little more motivation.
Back at home, the iPod synced back with iTunes and asked to go to the Nike+ site where my stats were displayed in a georgeous interface.
Cameron already has a Nano and has challenged me to a distance goal. The kids really were excited to see the race unfold on the website and want me to run again tonight so we can win first.
