I haven't been running over the past few years, but I have been recently. I'm a couple generations behind on the NikePlus experience, so I plugged it in this morning to see how it had evolved. The iPhone app and web dashboard are completely new to me, and entirely for the better. All the things that used to annoy me about running with it are gone (although I'm sure I'll find new ones). All of my old challenges, goals, and running maps were there, and I was immediately fed several suggestions to improve my running practice based on past behavior (even one suggestion that a goal may take "92 weeks" - yikes!)
It's obvious that the developers & designers behind NikePlus are entirely focused on getting people to run more, and the result is a great experience.
I think it's time for me to check this out again too. I'm told I need to run 3 - 5 miles DAILY to shake this baby weight. Weather here's pretty spectacular and my days can be scheduled now. Wish you were here and we could be running partners!

We'll definitely visit soon. I've only been to the LA airport, but LA proper!

I just posted this comment to Mena, and I'll post the same one to you: I tell every Nike+ user I know -- give the iPhone app RunKeeper a try, and you'll NEVER go back to Nike+. Never ever. RunKeeper is friggin' amazing.
