Nike Plus

Happy Holidays. I hope that everyone had a great Christmas season and a safe new years. With my recent gamerscore goal now complete I have switched my attention to something just as addicting... Running with my Nike Plus enabled iPod.

I really enjoy tracking and trending sets of numbers. Be it sales forecasts, gamerscore or miles completed. I thoroughly enjoy setting and exceeding goals so it was a natural fit to turn my attention to tracking my progress via my iPod.

The Nike Plus system works with the iPod nano. You insert a small receiver in your Nike Plus shoe or you can purchase an adapter to leverage the system with any type of shoe. Then you run. It is that simple. Leave it to Apple to make the process as easy as possible. 

The system really allows me to continue to run consistently as I like to watch the graph continue to progress on a daily basis. So now instead of gaming I will be running but one thing is certain. Goals will be set and numbers will be tracked and analyzed on a daily basis.

Wait. You have to run to use this gadget? Pshaw! ;) Hey, how did you add the Nike+ profile to your site?

Once you sign up on the nikeplus site and set up your profile there is a "share" option on your profile and copy the code snippet. It will do the rest :)

Hahhaha, yes I forgot to mention that my good friend Elijah helped me locate the original code snippet on the Nike Plus site as it was in an odd location :)

It might work simply once you get your hands on it, but it sure is complicated as crap to figure out any information on it.
