A couple of weeks ago I bought a Nike Plus kit so I could track my running. If you haven't seen one, it's basically a sensor you put in your shoe and a chip you plug into your iPod that tracks the distance and time of your runs. They only work with iPod Nanos, so even though I already have a perfectly good iPod, I went out and bought a Nano, just so I could use the Nike Plus.

So for slightly under $250 I have everything I need to eliminate the tedious process of writing down in a notebook - with a pen - how long and how far I've run. I'm sure I'm saving at least 30 seconds a day not having to do that!

What a foolish purchase, you might be saying to yourself. No way, it was totally worth it because now I'm totally addicted to running. Well, not so much the running as seeing the stats from my run when I'm done.

I've run twice with it now, and it's tracking all my miles and time. It could be the best thing ever.
