We've been having problems with the nano. My mother has had problems, and Beth's has been nutting up too. We don't know why this happens. Our usual route includes about 0.66mi of walking to the start of the course we've picked out, and 0.66mi walking to the house after the run. I decided to get my iPod ready to start the workout when we left the house, and during the walk it went to power-save mode. When we reached the start point, though, I woke up the iPod and began the workout. It froze before the lady finished telling me the workout had started. Almost immediately, it was catatonic. The backlight stayed on and it didn't respond to any input. I've discovered that the only way out of this state is to let the battery die and try it again the next day.
To make a long story short, I ran 2.23 miles and it wasn't counted. Beth is now winning the challenge we've made. I guess this kinda makes it even since she lost a run a few days ago in this same fashion. Hers didn't freeze immediately, but took a dive when she tried to change music tracks during a workout.
I don't know what's going on with these things, but if it wasn't so absolutely cool when it works, I'd have taken it back yesterday. We'll get it worked out soon. We've got a 5K Fun Run coming up Saturday, and we've committed to running our 3.8 mile course this evening. If I feel like it, I'll report as to the success or failure of the iPod/Nike+ Sport Kit usage tonight.
