2+2er Nike Plus running group - who's in?

[PokerBob]

hmmmmmm......

I'd like to get in on this as well. I don't have a Nano yet, but have been interested in picking one up just for the Nike+ feature alone. I'm in the same boat as Entity, I can go out and slug through a couple of miles, but would like to get back into better shape this year.

For Seattle area posters who need some motivation, you should plan on running the St. Patrick's Day Dash in March. It's a nice 3 1/2 mile race, usually a fun time.

fwiw I have the marware pouch and it works perfectly, also in my experience on a 1/4 mile track and on a treadmill the sensor is very accurate straight out of the box. I haven't signed up for a nike+ account yet but after my ankle gets better I am interested in joining this group as well.

[nolanfan34]

Alright, I'm in. Scott34 is my Nike ID, sent my e-mail to Entity. Looking forward to the motivation this should provide!

didn't read this thread yet but i'm in! i got one for chistmas and was going to start using it today. first i gotta go to dick's and get a pair of kicks for it.

I think I'm going to pick one of these up on the way home today. I've been thinking about getting one for awhile now as I've been running a lot lately and keeping track of miles by hand. I have the nano, why not spend $30 to let technology do it all for me?

EDIT: Add me please. DaveyG013 (that's a zero).

Yep, I think I may have to wait until the 12th to join... the Nano is a few thousand miles away.

It's okay though, I don't have a real job so I'll have plenty of time to catch up.

RJ,

I know! Usually I have a magazine or watch TV, but so many people from my college go to my gym that I always look around to see if I know people. One time I got a message on Facebook afterwards from a grad student at USD (that I had never met before) asking if I had been on "x" elliptical at "x" time . . . creeepy!

That's why people fall off of machines. I don't understand how anyone can read and exercise at the same time.
