Nike seems to have taken up a solid corner in the world of runners. Check out the Nike+ iPod Sports Kit — complete with an accelerometer and sensor to help runners track their distance, pace, calories, last workout, best workout — you name it. The sensor communicates with either the Nike+ Sportband or a receiver that is plugged into an iPod nano.
For just under $29 you can purchase one of these bad boys, sync it to either or both www.nikeplus.com or www.runnersplus.com and participate with the whole friggin' world in all sorts of fun running challenges: Who can run the most miles in 30 days? Which 40-year-old chick can run 500 miles first by December 31?
It's really helped me stay focused and motivated to run and prepare for my upcoming half marathons on September 28 (Capital City River Run in Lansing, Mich.) October 19 (Niketown's Run Like a Girl in Chicago, Ill.).
No matter what kind of running you're into, you'll love this little device. Makes "just doing it" a whole lot of fun.
