Well, maybe I’m not quite ready for 500 miles, but I am getting there. Today I bought the Nike+ for iPhone, and I can’t wait to use it.

This cool little gadget basically helps you track your runs. It sends all your information to Nike Running and shows you how far you ran, your pace, and some other cool stuff, too. You can also join running challenges and compete against your friends, if you are so inclined.
Which reminds me, if you wanna be my friend on Nike Running, my name is jm1773. Click this link to find me!
The best thing about this little thing is that I didn’t have to go buy expensive new Nike shoes to work with it. I did a little Googling and found this little cheat.

They have a whole bunch of colors, but I obv got pink.
You also get to create your own little avatar to keep you motivated. Mine is playing on her cellphone right now since I haven’t done any running yet. As stupid as it sounds, I think this little thing will keep me motivated since I am easily amused and I really want to see her dance or something.
Don’t I look cool? Hehe.
Have you discovered any cool gadgets that make getting in shape actually (gasp!) fun?
I purchased the Nike + a couple years ago, but it died within a year of use. So I got a Polar fitness watch instead and although it doesn’t track distance, it does show heart rate, calories burned and progress along those lines. I liked the Nike + features and it was fairly easy to use (I bought a little pouch to tie on my laces too). Hope it works out better for you!
I wanted a Nike + so bad… then by luck, or a little begging/pushing I received a garmin gps watch with heart rate monitor as a gift! working out can be fun!
after dropping a million hints, the fiance got me a wii. im going to get the wii fit, but until then i’m playing a lot of games on wii sports/resort.
the sword fighting made my shoulders pretty sore! anyways, it gets me off the couch. it’s something fun that we can do together, too.
I lovelovelove my Nike+. I’ve been attempting to be a runner, and realized (as soon as I started using that lil gadget) that I was running too fast. I now know how to pace myself and my running has improved ten-fold. Love it!
I bought one of those ages ago, I was so excited about it (they really are cool). Sadly I think I only used it about 5-6 times and now I have no idea where it is. I kind of want to go find it now… Good luck with your 500 miles!
Oh my gosh, your avatar is so cute! And now I want to see you dance, too!
I totally wanted one of these but I don’t use my phone or regular ipod to listen to music, I use a shuffle that has no app feature. @kaepo1: Jealous, the garmin is super nice!
I want to join in just to create an avatar…but I hate running

I originally bought a Nike+, but it was inaccurate, and mildly annoying to use. I bought a garmin 305 and I love it. It has interval or distance training which is really nice. I think a Nike+ is a nice gateway for a runner, once your a bit more committed the 305 is a good upgrade.
Wii Fit Plus is amazing… I also bought the dumbells that attach to your remotes as well as lift for the fit board which make it like a step class used to be. I love tracking everything on the graphs and seeing my progress. I’m almost 40 lbs down!!!
your avatar is so cute! I love running too! but love my zumba class that’s offered on my gym!
OMG, that little baby got me thru training for a half marathon all by myself and kept me on track for a long time after (it’s so awesome to have it tell you that you’ve just awesomed out another 6 mile run). I have given it up for now though, after my third one died and I just didn’t want to shell out another $30 to replace it (again) 
I have a nike+, but I get burnt out easily on running… my new favorite way to burn calories is going to zumba class. I am not the best dancer ever, but it is super fun!
I’ve been wanting to try this forever! I’d love to hear how you like it!
@irishbride2be: I got it on amazon! Its so handy. http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Skin-Pouch-Nike-SportBand/dp/B001EZ26Q6/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1314757764&sr=1-9
Love Nike+ - I actually use the Nike+ GPS app on my iphone! Awesome!
I use the Nike+ app on my phone. It is eerily accurate, it can even tell when I cross the street or run on the grass because of traffic.
I’m also a WiiFit lover. I’ve been doing it for a month along with Gold’s Gym Dance and I just added on Gold’s Gym Cardio. I cannot believe how much it works me out. I started dying on Day 1 when I burned 90 calories and now on Day 33 I burned 400+ calories no problem. I have the dumbbell wiimote connectors due to arrive in the mail tomorrow so I’ll really be pushing it soon.
