Yeah I saw that - unfortunately the Mac rumor sites debunked it. At least the screenshots that were published. They have publicly stated that they are working on it - but no details or concrete information.

The iPhone/iTouch app is coming soon according to an article on Gizmodo yesterday. There is also the translated article from the French site that broke the story.

Hey man I think it’s great - I’m going to do a few races here and there too but I’m not quite so ambitious and I’m keeping the mileage under 10 miles.

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.

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

TB - you forgot to add shin splints and weekly blisters.

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.
