Urg, ouch, my god I ache.... and there are holes in my feet.....

So, last week I was in Chicago and decided to buy some Nike + running shoes to go with my nano. Great product combination if you haven't tried it, but a few little teething problems for me at the start.

Come the first run, on the hotel treadmill, I found that the shoes were agony. It felt like there were 2 small tacks pushing into the arch of my foot, in the same place on each foot. So, I plodded on towards my 5K target, and at 4K got a bit tired, so I pressed for my power song (Crazy, Gnarls Barkley) and accidently hit menu and the centre button... oops! The ipod reset and I lost the data. Back in the hotel room I checked my feet and had a couple of small punctures, checked the shoes and found nothing, so I blamed the socks.
