Garr.. I'm still a couple miles behind 7th. This would be so much easier if he'd just stopped running
Top five would be a super finish, and you're so close. Half a k according to the widget.
I think I'll aim for 6th by the end of this. Even if I don't move up a couple more spots, I'm still pretty pleased with myself.
AARRRGH! USA WHY CAN'T YOU GET WITH THE PROGRAM AND START USING THE STANDARD UNITS OF MEASUREMENT???
Sorry, about the outburst. I have a question. When the heck is 12:59 AM in normal sensible 24 hours time? That's when it says the challenge ends for me.

Where does everyone run? I used to run in the summer, but now it's cold and crappy outside, it makes me want to stay in. I don't go to the gym, and probably never would. I really need to start getting active again.
When I run, I have mine display KM's if that's what you're AARRGH'ing about gekko513
Until around the start of October I ran outside, now that it's getting chilly I just run on the treadmill at home. It's not so bad.

Thanks a lot. I could've handled 3AM, but when 0 o'clock doesn't exist and 12 o'clock does, I get confused.
I run on asphalt mostly, and it's hilly for the first 15 minutes of my runs, but then it gets better.
Good
You're sensible. This time I was aarghing about the 12 hours clock, but I'm also frustrated by all the conversion that has to be done in this thread to discuss distance and pace.
Getting me interested in thi, but had a question - Rain. Does the equipment work in the rain? I do not think it would be wise to take the nano out for a spin in therain - are the sensors waterproof, armbands as well? Just want to know the limitations before I purchase...
Thanks.
Thanks.

mine says that it ends at 6:59 PM (i think, it could be AM i guess).
gekko, where are you located?
I'm in Norway, and right now it's sleet and rain outside, and the roads are mostly slush, so running doesn't seem very appealing.
I've been running in rain with the Nike iPod armband. It seems to protect the iPod fairly well against the rain. Sometimes it's a bit damp in a small area where the opening is when I come back after a run, but so far no problems. I don't know if the sensor is waterproof, but I haven't had any problems with it. I have Nike shoes, though, so the sensor is in the sole and hasn't really become wet at any time. If you plan to attach the sensor to the shoe using some other method it may be different.
.. so today I had a stellar run. Would have launched me into 7th. I didn't end the workout before plugging in my iPod, I only paused it. iTunes recognized the run, but the Nike website won't update it. Anyone know how to force the two to sync themselves?
Since this competition is over today, does anybody know if we are doing another one....for the new year?

i hope so. i like the motivation

Same here, however I'm a bit miffed my last two runs were not counted when I plugged in my iPod. I'll never see those 11k again.
Perhaps if no one takes charge I'll start a 'Get Fit For Valentine's Day' competition.

Congratulations twoodcc on winning the challenge

I'd be up for the Valentine's Day challenge.
Thanks.
Merry Christmas.
After a dismal attempt at participation in this challenge, I'd be up for the Valentine's one as well...w/much more motivation...lol.
Alright, so I guess I'll start up a Valentine's Day Challenge.
However, since I'm most likely going to be super lazy for the next week I'm going to wait until 1 January 2007.

Hehe, was just going to look into setting it up myself. I concur w/the waiting for the start date to be 1st January...that way we'll all have those shiny new resolutions to keep...and the hangover to get rid of by running
I got a nike + iPod kit for christmas, and I'm an avid runner, so sign me up for the next competition! It sounds like fun.
I'm up for one but it's been a few weeks I think since I asked to be added and still no go. I'd take offense but it's my new year's resolution to stop worrying so much! For now I run alone
same here.
tried to join up awhile back but couldn't get on.
i'm in for the next one starting 1st Jan 07.
just hope i can join up this time.
The Nike+ website is doing a New Year's Resolution challenge for January. Pick a goal, and then decide what the consequences will be if you don't achieve that goal. Nikeplus.com keeps track of your progress starting January 1st.
Hello all , i'm back on after a period of illness (all clear now) but i feel bad for leaving all you here but i't seems you all have been doing great with the running.
Oh and BTW i'm not an alter ego of mark jones
what else did i miss?

I'm glad to have you back liketom and glad to hear that you're clear of the illness. I was wondering and getting a bit worried since you weren't around to invite people to the challenge.
Congratulations twoodcc, on winning the challenge! Christmas happened here so it was difficult to find time to run, but my legs also needed the time to recover so it's all for the better I think.

Thanks gekko
ok so right what we doing for the next one in Jan ? someone else took charge do all want me to send invites?
I'd be up for a January challenge. Does that collide with Valentine? I don't know when that is. Now that you're back it'll be easier if you just keep inviting people since you already have all the usernames.Thanks gekko
