Nike + iPod = shin splints?

I was reading about the new Nike + iPod gear today and I was thinking, "...so wait a minute... athletic shoes aren't just for fashion?! ...people must actually run in these things - on purpose! Wow..."

You need three things to outfit yourself with the new Nike + iPod gear; an iPod nano, a pair of Nike+ shoes, and the new iPod Sport Kit ($29). Oh, and you have to want to run. You place a small sensor in the sole of your shoe (man, that's gonna hurt after a coupla miles, don't you think?) The sensor talks to your nano wirelessly as you run so you get real-time feedback on the iPod's display. Then it'll download information into iTunes when you sync so you can track your runs and analyze your workouts.

The goods hit the stores today, so run on over (ha-ha) to your friendly neighborhood Apple Store, Niketown, or NikeWoman store.
