Running again with Nikeplus

Carolyn and I have been getting back into running. We have done at least 3 runs per week for the last month now. Last year we used the Nike+ kit with our iPods to track our runs. Unfortunely, the sensor only seems to last a year. We had to purchase 2 new Nike+ sensors this year. Too bad it didn't last as long as we were hoping but it is a really cool gadget. It's worth investing in a 2nd time.

My favorite feature of the Nike+ kit has always been the graphs. Every time you sync your iPod, the data for all your runs is automatically uploaded to nike.com. You can then visit the website and see a graph of your run.

Looks like nikeplus.com now has a new feature. I'm testing out putting a plot of my run on a webpage. You should be able to browse my last 5 runs using this webpage widget below. Very cool!
