I got all cocky and challenged Shoemoney’s wife, J, to the first to 20 miles with Nike+. Apparently that was a mistake. She’s currently <1mi ahead of me, but I fear I may get beaten.

On that note, Nike+ and a heart rate monitor are the best motivators for running I've found. I get bored out of my mind running, but with a little motivation from Nike+ and knowing that I'm perfectly in the heart rate zone with the monitor is a good combo to keep things interesting.
