Races require internal combustion engines as far as I'm concerned

I just picked up the nike+ rig last week and have been running since ... As of this morning it's been 15 miles in 7 days. Not bad just coming fresh off the couch.

I highly recommend this setup ... if you don't have an iPod Nano already you'll have some steep initial investments, but it's worth it. It's very motivating.

Feel free to challenge me at nike's website, my login is (spam "at" sleestacks "dot" com)

The Ipod nano's go for US$150-250
The integration kit costs US$29
The nike sneakers are US$99

I have seen pictures of folks cutting a hole in old sneakers for the chip or using various methods of attaching it the lasses and getting good results.

I am up to 11 runs and 75 miles on this combo. The web site and the voice prompts are a very good motivator.

Is your username H20Dog? Can you send me your email address? It won't give it to me even though I accepted the first challenge.

Now THAT!! is an "online multiplayer game" with some positive benefits. This should get in shape all the stats-loving online challengers (ie: gamers, grid computers, MMORPGers, etc).

If they had a Nike Bike, I'd get into that right now! Heck, maybe they do.
