At least the screenshots that were published. They have publicly stated that they are working on it - but no details or concrete information. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/08/20/briefly_shots_of_nike_touch_app_not_the_real_deal.html Yeah I saw that – unfortunately the Mac rumor sites debunked it.

In fact we have a big family challenge around beat the bridge. Not that 5 miles is a big amount but it's an excuse to get the extended family running together. I'm even getting the family standardized on the nike+ system. Although I really wish they had an iphone/ipod touch app that sync'd wirelessly. We got malaika the little wrist band which is cool - but I like the audio cues.

I'll see in about two months if my legs really have what it takes to sustain that kind of mileage. Yeah, I keep injuring myself with all this running too.

At least the modern digital music players can carry far more music than I have running endurance now a days. Congrats on the Run Keith - that's far beyond what my poor legs can take given the wide variety of high school era track and cross country injuries I suffered. Not to mention the fact that I'm about 50lbs heavier than high school Leon. TB – you forgot to add shin splints and weekly blisters.

I have experienced chafing and will offer my pinky toe nails to the half-marathon gods if required but I need my music. I will settle for being a fake LD runner instead. Umm…pass.
