I don't know how you people who live where it is really cold manage to run outside in the winter.

There's nothing better than running in the '40s. Perfect temp. 20s/30s aren't so bad either.

If cold Minnesota tough talk doesn't bring Bilmore back from the grave, nothing will.

How did she not get the reference? Yes, I looked creepy, but she still should have gotten it.

Oh great, now you blew it. It may be another five years before it gets this cold again.

Maybe she got the reference, but was troubled that she was moving into a pool of other readers that includes the creepy?

You don't telemark, do you? Weeeeeeeeee! Look at my long slow turns that span the width of the entire run!

They're huge.

Telemark skiing seems to be a made up sport. But it apparently has some niche usefulness (back country blah blah).

I am thinking of getting an iPod Touch, partially because of the Nike+ technology, and partly because I think they are kind of cool.

The biggest one is 32 gigs. Are they going to come out with one with more storage the minute I buy one? I actually could probably use 64 gigs.

There have been rumors of a 64 gig version for months and months, but I think there's a price problem. The classic uses a cheaper hard drive for storage, but the touch doesn't, meaning that the price differential gets bigger and bigger the more storage you have.

I'm lusting after the touch but have the same problem.

Wouldn't an iPod touch be a little bulky for running? I ues the Nike+ thing with a nano strapped to my arm, which is infinitely more comfortable than the larger old classic ipod that I used to run with.

I run with a classic now and I think the touch is about the same size. It doesn't bother me at all, and I am not buying a nano simply for the nike thingy.

Also the touch does not require the nike plus adapter thingy.

This is one of those questions that defines an age, I think. Everyone remember the introduction of the Walkman?

I confess that I still sometimes refer to my iPod as "my walkman".
