Anybody use this? What do you think of it?

I LOVE it. I'm more of a jogger and nowhere near a "runner" but I love how I can keep track of my runs. It pushes you and keeps you motivated. When you upload your data, I love seeing all my runs visually on a graph. You can set goals for yourself, too. It's great!

The only thing is, I wonder how accurate it is. The distance ran is never the same on my iPod as it is on the treadmill. My iPod said 3.2 miles and the treadmill said 2.8. I met in the middle and figured I probably did just around 3mi.

I know it's corny but everytime you've met a milestone (fastest mile, longest run etc) I think it's awesome that a sports figure comes on and congratulates you. I like to pat myself on the back, clasp my hands together and swing my arms back and forth and say "Hooray". People around me think I'm nuts I'm sure!

I'm clocked in at 80 miles. At 50 miles the website congratulate me and said something like "the real 'prize' is at 100". I wonder what it is? Probably something stupid like I get to be on the wall of "100-milers" or something.

Anyway, any nike+iPodders out there? If so, tell me what you think!
