Nike+ made a friend out of me

I got my Nike+ Sport Pack this weekend (10th Wedding Anniversary present - my, how times have changed!) and I had my first real workout with it tonight. It probably isn’t as accurate as it “could” be, because I don’t have the Nike+ shoes (sidebar: Dear Nike, Stability shoes are not the same as Motion Control shoes. I really like the effort you put into making so many neat and cool shoes, but even as I tried on your lovely Equalons, you and I both knew that it wasn’t going to happen for this big girl with the severe over-pronation issue. I’m looking forward to trying out your Motion Control shoes when they are supposed to come out. I know I’m not supposed to really know about that, as you were trying to convince me that your Stability shoe is, in fact, Motion Control, but I called my serious shoe peeps and they let me know that it was not the case, but that you were rectifying the situation. Untill then, dearest holder of the swoosh, I will be stuffing your Nike+ sensor into my shoelaces and hoping for the best. Love, Me) but it was great to hear the mile marks through my iPod, and to be able to get a status every time I hit my center button.

I just have to do what I did tonight about 4.4 times in a row for the upcoming 1/2 marathon - ai, yi, yi!
