Where to keep the nano when running?

After having used an iPod Nano for a couple of weeks I need to find a water proof place to store it when running. Keeping it in the pocket is just not good enough. Jiwok has done some research on possible options. I'm going for the updated Nike+ armband if I can only make sure it is water proof.

Ok, I changed my country to the US at the Nike+ website just so I can get to the blog widget. Here's my last run (Flash needed):



The graph show speed on the Y-axis and distance on the X-axis. I tried to run the first three kilometers at a fast pace, the next two rather quickly and then jogging the last kilometer. When looking at this run on the Nike+ site it shows that much better than the widget does.

You don't have to update the country to US in your profile (although I did), it seems sufficient to just change the country in the bottom left corner of the Nike+ website.

Relieving knee pain after running

I got an iPod Nano with the Nike+ kit a couple of weeks ago and have started running more regularly. I also got a new pair of shoes, and now I'm having some knee pains after running. I'm pretty sure I hit the ground with my heel first, which apparently is not the proper way of running.

My thought on the Nike+ kit? Its brilliant, although not very accurate. It makes running fun and motivates me to get out more. Which is why I bought it in the first place. No support for blog posting outside of the US yet (what's up with that Nike?).
