Track my running Progress


I am contemplating in getting this little gadget: The Nike+ iPod Sport Kit. I am already using my iPod nano (everywhere I go actually, not just) for running. So the thought of having the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit came to mind again. Should I get it?
If I were to get it, I would need to get the Nike+ shoes then. Fortunately, the Nike+ shoes are available in Singapore. Except that the Sport kit are not sold in Apple's online store (last I checked).

Its really tempting. Imagine having "personal trainer" who will inform you of how you're doing through a voice over into your ears while you're listening to music and lapping up the miles at the same time.

Isn't that cool? On top of that, you could sync the data of your runs back into the Mac or PC and you can analyze and plan your next workout schedule and intensity. Brilliant!

But first, the shoes. That's a separate cost altogether.
Hmm, I think a less expensive solution would be to get a shoe pouch and slot the sport kit into it. Not sure if there are any issues regarding inaccurate tracking of your runs or calculating or sensing the distance covered.
