Oh my god tell me about it, I own 2 pairs of actual real running shoes and they were $200 together, not to mention my Nike + iPod I use with them. :((( This is actually why I pretty much have to keep buying Nike+ shoes, because it's the only thing I have to gauge my own distance/speed. And obviously I'm not going to be sinking money into anything else at this point, since I don't *have* the money. Though I really, really would love to buy new running shoes that are a different brand and get a new tracker that does stuff on it's own. /wistful thoughts
