New Nike+iPod (without the Nike)

So I had to be an early adopter again. This thing is the coolest invention yet. It combines geekiness and running. What a great fit for me! I got strapped the kit to my New Balance 766s with velcro (ala Mr. Podophile) and off I went. I first calibrated it around a track, then ran the outside loop of Greenlake in Seattle. This should be a 3.1 miler...

drop off in time.. ha! Quick conclusion after one use - I liI was feeling great and pushed the normal pace. I got finished and stopped the iPod. I was constantly looking down at my shoe to make sure the transmitter didn't fall out - but it didn't. At the end of the workout - I forgot to actually "end the workout", which is why you'll see theke it. I don't like that I can't share this website results with my friends though... I'll have to write apple or nike. Check out the screen print below. It wasn't as accruate as I would hope though. It should be 3.1 but it checks out about 2.85 miles. I did run a slower 400 meters for calibration... I'll get back to you guys on this.
