Nike+

I'm at the Apple store on Michigan Ave, again. The pairing of Apple and Nike has led to one of my all-time favorite intuitive consumer products, the Nike+. That said, it's been acting up and when that happens, all goodwill goes out the door. I have become overly dependent on my little running buddy, completely reliant on it to tell me pace, distance and provide me with my power song when needed. To be on a run and realize you have NO IDEA how far or fast you're going is infuriating.


So, I've replaced my Nike sensor twice and am working on replacing my iPod Touch for the second time as well (for free so far). It's probably my very struggling computer that's actually to blame, but that's not a problem I'm willing to deal with now. Anyway, here's hoping that the glory that is the Nike+ system returns. I can't imagine running this Saturday's 18 miler without it.

Soundtrack for the moment: Allison Krauss, Baby Now That I've Found You.
