Boo on RRS… Despite the 1/15 expiration, they killed the discount code early…

Well, I tried the Amp+ watch control. It worked perfectly. It's always been an issue for me, since I generally listen to podcasts when I run and they generally are not all recorded at the same level, so I am always having to diddle with the volume. It was a big fat zero deg. F this morning and, with two layers of gloves on, I was able to adjust the volume up and down without a problem.

I bought the last one that they had a local Best Buy for $40, which is still probably too much, but better than the list $80.

When I bought my Nike shoes (with Nike+ support) I hesitated because I felt like a fool paying an extra $20 for a shoe with a hole in it.

I'm however quite happy that I don't have another thing (Nike+ pouch to attache to a shoe) to juggle when using the Nike+. All I have to do is remember to put on the right sneakers and the sensor is already mounted for me in there.

I've had Nike+ for a couple of years, and I just bought the watch remote control thing last night, as trying to control an iPod on the run with gloves on in the winter is, well, impossible.

It is possible to use Nike+ without Nike shoes – you can get little neoprene pockets for the sensor, which attach to your laces, or you can use this replacement insole: http://www.yoursole.com/products/footbeds/signatu…

But I think that the sensor seems to be most accurate in a Nike+ shoe.

As for the cost of shoes, as with many other things, you often get what you pay for. Though Air Pegasus support Nike+ as well, and they are fairly reasonable. It seems that Nikes cost pretty much what they always have back before Nike+.
