Best Friday Thread Ever?
Would anyone be interested in doing this again?
GLOC was the administrator last year but I am happy to step in, unless Mavis really really wants to.
For those who haven't seen this before we set up a challange on the Nike+ site that runs over a month. Challenges could be most miles accumulated, fastest mile, fastest 5k, first to 50miles, you get the picture.

iGeek therefore iTrek
Can I ask a silly question? How does this nike+ work? Do I need any thing special for this? I got a new iPod touch which supports this but don't know much about it all, well anything about it really.
As I need to lose some weight and get fitter this could be a good place to start.
Cheers,

No such thing as a silly question.
Not sure if the Nike+ works with the iTouch but the general premise is that is counts footfalls using a sensor either in a small pocket on your trainers or special Nike trainers with a hole in the sole for the sensor. The software in the receiver which plugs into the nano converts the footfalls into distance and speed.
You can then take part in global or local challenges or your own goals/challenges.
You can also create or download training playlists and have a 'powersong' for when you are flagging and want a boost during the run.
I must say that without Nike+ I found running very boring but having that challenge (as I am that sort of person) really made me get out and run. I gave up in the summer as the Nike+ servers fell over and I wasn't get the group motivation.
Have a look at nikeplus.com for more details.
