Please know that right now, on this very day, all over the world there are more athletes doing outdoor activities with an ipod video than the nano. This is not only include runners, but extreme high risk sports like skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, rollerbladng, and others. So why is the real reason behind the nike+ nano? and exclusive feature to motivate the sales on this specific player, please know that the nano is not the only ipod that uses flash memory, yet the only one that works as part of the kit. So lets put a stop to all these crazy rumors and start running! ;) Best, Ralph J. Mac Genious To Ozzyman:

This is very similar to what I did to work up to 1.5 miles, then to work up to 3, so I can say it works. I would really like to run a 5k charity race this spring. And lastly, Gmaps Pedometer is also helpful for plotting running routes. [...] [...] FYI, here’s some good tips for new runners, what with New Year’s Resolutions coming up and all.

Got myself a (really) good pair of running shoes some months ago. For the first time in my life I can now say I enjoy the walking and the running, because the shoes just fits perfectly. I can't recommend enough going to a store who specializes in running shoes, and get the full treatment. Just as you mentioned, it's a quite expensive deal, but you won't regret it. The only thing standing in my way of upgrading my old 4G iPod to a nano is that I really feel the need for the 60GB capacity as well as the recording feature of the big brother. Oh, sneaky Apple... Please make NikePod work with the 5G as well! Thanks for the tips. Got myself a (really) good pair of running shoes some months ago.

I'd also add that it's nice to plug into a "support group" of sorts - catch up with other runners. There's a pretty active community of runners who blog - check out completerunning.com/running-blogs/ to find other like-minded runners. Love the ongoing hacks on the sauconys - I sprung for the Nike shoes and haven't been as dissappointed as I hoped, but look forward to trying this out with my Asics. All good stuff.
