Death of my Nike+
So for almost three years now I have used Nike+ to log most of my runs. I found it convenient since I was already using my ipod. My finace` purchased me the system when it came out. This one my dog ate the part that goes into the ipod. Then I replaced it and had 2 sensors. I am sad to report both of my sensors batteries are now dead and I am sensor less. I know I know, I can get a new sensor online for about $10. However, my poor ipod is almost dead as well it only holds charge long enough to listen to about 2 hours of music or podcasts. Its sad no companion on my long run.
But, now the dilemma, what do I do? Replace the Nike+ and get a new battery placed in my ipod? Revert back to my Forerunner 200 system ( yes its the older one) Or use this opportunity to upgrade. I have been looking into getting a heart rate monitor but the big problem I have is some watch bands I am allergic to, something to do with the plastic in them. Currently I am using my old garmin, but its large on my wrist, loses signal often, doesn’t link to my computer and I would still have to bring the ipod and add a heart rate monitor if I want one. Or, get the new garmin, or find some other device. Any suggestions I am up for while I research and save the money. I loved my Nike+ it was easy to use however I don’t always wear my ipod and I have a feeling that the system is why my ipod is already.
Man what did we do before all of these fancy toys and technology?
