I feel like a running wireless "hot-spot" at times, but I have to admit I love the Nike data. Especially because I put a lot of runs in on the treadmill and the Garmin doesn't cover me there.<br/><br/>Jamie Welcome to the challenge Erika!

I think you'll surprise yourself at what you are capable of...you are an amazing person!<br/><br/>John - Great to hear from you! I am in awe of the mileage you put in in Iraq...the heat has got to be unbearable. Way to go on your challenge...almost there! <br/><br/>The price of the Nike+ makes it nearly impossible to pass up...and almost everyone who uses it loves it, so I guess I'm sold. <br/><br/>That's so wierd that my photos are blocked...must be the pregnant belly pics...pretty racy stuff. <br/><br/>I'm going to email you with some running questions...if you don't mind.<br/><br/>Take care, John...can't wait till you are safely home!

That’s so wierd that my photos are blocked…must be the pregnant belly pics…pretty racy stuff.

I’m going to email you with some running questions…if you don’t mind.

Take care, John…can’t wait till you are safely home!

For $30 it is a totally automated process and it is really fun to track your runs. A lot of the people I run with really like being able to call me and ask me what pace we were doing at certain parts of the runs.<br/><br/>I am doing a 1,000 mile challenge and have about 850 done. It was supposed to be with another Marine and my brother, but the other Marine bought a Garmin and PD’s iPod was stolen, so it is all me. If a trip to Iraq is in your future it is a MUST!!!<br/><br/>p.s.<br/>I find it funny that the "department of defense" blocks your flickr pictures on your blog because it allegedly contains nudity!!!! I can get to Jacki's flickr no problem. Sometimes their filter doesn't make any sense! Erika, I highly recommend the nike+.

Wanted to let you know that I joined the challenge after reading your post...of course the 500 mile and not the 1000 mile challenge =). It will be a challenge and I'll hopefully be raising awareness at the same time. Hey Erika!
