Why run when you can drive?

anyone can drive...
I love running. It's one of the purest competitive sports. It may not be that entertaining to watch. But theres no BS about who has better equipment or of there was an unfair call or not.
During a race, there's only you and your competitors, and when its over, you can step off the track knowing you owned them physically and mentally and none of them can beat you in that race. One of the greatest feelings you can have.
Like they say, pain is temporary, glory is forever.

Yes I will need a clip for my yamaka when I run so it dosent fall off. Then afterwards we can all play frisbee! :arms: :biggrin: :arms:
Why run? Never gonna beat the kenyans, they have it in their blood, it would take a few generational evolutions for me to over take them. I'll stick to swimming, it's better for the back anyways :biggthumpup:
Relatedly, someone at my school set the new state and I think regional record for the mile. Ran it in 4:15 I think. Thats insane!!! He's runs something like 80 miles a week! Go figure, even though he's a pretty dull minded kid (read: stupid, Level 3 classes-NO AP's) he got full ride offers to both standford and harvord, plus numerous others I cant remember and dont want to/care to. I hate him...

Yeah sorry, i figured you were, but I haven't raced in two years and yesterday went to a good track meet to watch my old college running buddies, and warmed up with them and such. It got me fired up.
Actually I've beat a NAIA national champion kenyan, but to his defense it wasn't his strong event. But still pretty fun :biggthumpup:.
4:15 is fast in HS but I would of thought the state record would be better than that. Maybe just the school? 4:15-16 typically is a common winning time for a state meet so I'd think the record would be lower but maybe not.
ps. threadjack over, please continue with the Lanier 5k trash talking. But do some interval workouts afterwards so you have a chance of backing it up. :skull2: :skull2: :skull2:

There is a sensor you put in your shoe and a receiver you plug into your nano (only works on nano for now) and it tracks how far you go, pace, and calories burned. After your run when you sync your nano to iTunes it uploads the data to your account on Nike. Then you can log into the account and see all your workout information, set goals track progress etc. I read a lot of reviews and it has really good feedback and is about 98% accurate. Oh and you don't need the special shoes they try to sell you a lot of people, from what i read, just tuck the sensor in their shoe some place or there are little pouches you can get on ebay for $3 or so. One of the features of the Nke account is you can challenge people to things like first one to run 100miles or fastest miles time, things like that.

I know they have GPS chips as well that will track your route, time, dist travelled, ect and are accurate to a football field distance for a marathon. Nike thing sounds pretty cool, expecially since you can use it with other brands of shoes.

Yeah that sucks that it's only available for the Nano. I was hoping it would also work for the Video, but my girlfriend said it will never be available for the Video because you're not even supposed to run with the Video because the Video has an actual hardrive that jogging can screw up.
We still run with our Video anyways and it's still working.:biggthumpup:
There is a watch version for the Nike+ coming out in the next month or so ($200 ish). You can get a refurished nano directly from Apple for $89 right now.Apple As for the not jogging with a video ipod they say that but i have been running with mine for about a year with no problems. I wear it on my arm and there is a lot less impact there then if it were on your belt or something.
