Here's a better tip. Dump the Nike+ and go grab RunKeeper Pro off of the app store. Its normally $10 but is free through January for all the people who are on annual two-week work out programs in January.
It requires no sensor in the shoe and just runs off the GPS. It chimes in at whatever interval you tell it to. Graphs your pace by 1/10 of a mile, maps it on Google, the whole nine yards. They also just introduced a heartrate monitor to work with the app. Additionally, it includes a web profile that tracks your info so you can view it on a larger screen.
There are some reviews complaining of accuracy, but in the three or four times I have used it so far its within 1/100 of a mile over a distance of 4 miles. I used it on a PT test course a couple weeks ago and it was within 1/100 at each 1/4 mile sign.
It's pretty sweet.
