I love ridiculous safety warnings, like the ones on irons that say "Do not iron clothes on body." But I guess some of them prove to be useful, after all. :) Ha!

I started out with a gently (?) used Timex Speed + Distance monitor. $30 on the employee bulletin board. OK, so it's not near as nifty as a Garmin, got the hulking satellite dish on my arm, and can't upload to the computer. My running girlfriends have new matching Garmins, and I have serious Garmin envy. I just can't get past the price tag! . Interesting note: the Timex Speed + Distance has a warning label on the back that you shouldn't consult it while running. I noticed the label for the first time and read it aloud while walking across the parking lot, and promptly walked into the side of my car. Some of us shouldn't try to walk and chew bubble gum, let alone run and navigate a Garmin! Ooh - tough call on the Garmin!
