Using this hashtag will hopefully provide NTers with extra motivation and maybe even friendly competition. Once we reach a certain number of community runners, we can get into Nike+ challenges like the old times (see below).

NIKE+ CHALLENGE IV:
STRIPES vs. SOLIDS 8000

http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_US/plus/#//challenges/detail/1172409790/



Sup NT,
This is the latest installment of NT+ Challenges. It is another TEAM DISTANCE RACE, and the goal is to accumulate 8000 MILES as a TEAM before the other. However, this time we're only going to have TWO TEAMS. The FIRST TEAM to run 8000mi takes home the DIGITAL TROPHY! CHALLENGERS will select their TEAM according to their respective birthMONTH. All running levels are welcome. #makeitcount! 

STRIPES (Odds; JAN / MAR / MAY / JUL / SEP / NOV)

SOLIDS (Evens; FEB / APR / JUN / AUG / OCT / DEC)

FAQS

- What do I need?
You will NEED a Nike+ capable device; iPhone 3GS-4, iPod Nano/Touch, or Nike+ (or GPS) watch. You'll also need to register an account at nikeplus.com (free) to track your individual progress and NT's overall progress. If you've ordered from NDC before, I'm sure you can use the same login.
If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch, there are two options. One is download the Nike+ GPS app ($1.99 from the App Store). The other is to purchase a Nike+ sensor (~$1. If you have an older iPod, you'll need to purchase a Nike+ sensor and receiver. I think it's around $30 (correct me if I'm wrong).

^Thanks. Likewise

! PM the OG lol

Anywho... We could set it up as a Distance Race (ex. First to 200M), Most Miles until a certain date, etc. We could make it a Team Challenge or Individual.

How about we make it a group effort instead of a race i.e lets try to reach 10000 miles run by the end of the summer

i for one cannot run as far and as often as many of the people here can, and if im trying to get to 200m before someone else, I would be deterred from running if someone is even 20 miles ahead of me and has a steady running schedule. but if I am contributing a mile or so a day to a 10000 mile goal, I would be much more motivated to run.

I may be interested.  Probably have to replace my Lunareclipse.  Almost have 450 miles on them.  Insoles are horrible but it's a decent running shoe.  Might have to go back to asics.  But the Nike+ is fun to use.
