I don't have a Garmin; I just don't think it's necessary unless, like Julia said, you do a lot of ourdoor running on an unmarked path. I run at Forest Park and the path is marked. Somtimes I just start the timer on my cheap watch to check my time at each mile.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310521653862222270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421740906958609009.post-34148133438261916042009-02-28T00:47:00.000-06:002009-02-28T00:47:00.000-06:00Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

No matter if you are running, walking, or just on the eliptical, you HAVE to get supportive shoes. And after that MUST, I would go for the iPod. I can't live without mine, especially on weight lifting days.<BR/><BR/>I'm so proud of you that you are starting to run!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471968653675518226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421740906958609009.post-84694915305167994932009-02-27T17:21:00.000-06:002009-02-27T17:21:00.000-06:00The running shoes are a MUST expense, even if they...The running shoes are a MUST expense, even if they are pricey. You'll seriously hurt yourself otherwise.<BR/><BR/>I'd also suggest really nice non-cotton running socks. And of course, new moisture-wicking attire would always help.<BR/><BR/>Are you planning on staying indoors at the gym to do your workouts? Because if so, the Garmin is pretty pointless....it tells you how far you've gone, calories burned, etc...which is awesome for OUTDOORs but not really needed on a treadmill. In fact, i doubt it would work since it's a GPS that measures your distance run, huh...interesting thought! I've never seen that one you posted, is it a newer model?<BR/><BR/>And I love my ipod shuffle for running outdoors. Im with the pp and really don't use it at the gym at all, though.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on loving working out! Get as mushy as you'd like:)Julia Gooliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784248013181090775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421740906958609009.post-19103722770551583802009-02-27T16:41:00.000-06:002009-02-27T16:41:00.000-06:00I love my ipod, but I don't actually use it when I...I love my ipod, but I don't actually use it when I'm working out,when I do my cardio I just hook up my headphones to one of the tvs and when I do my weights I just listen to the piped in music.<BR/><BR/>But, I think you should get the ipod anyway because frankly they rock.Scazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745878174901892019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421740906958609009.post-27924671939695915882009-02-27T15:39:00.000-06:002009-02-27T15:39:00.000-06:00I never wanted an iPod but my Dad bought me one a ...I never wanted an iPod but my Dad bought me one a few years ago when the 2nd gen. Nano's came out, and although at first I was like - why? now I get the point. I use it mostly in the car, but when the weather is warm it comes with me when I bike, when I walk the boardwalk and I even have a special case for it when I kayak!Jersey Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159479944031178356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421740906958609009.post-50635422091960466262009-02-27T13:47:00.000-06:002009-02-27T13:47:00.000-06:00i never thought i would get an ipod, but i did and...i never thought i would get an ipod, but i did and it's adorable! it's a shuffle, which is all i really need, it's tiny and discreet, and only 50 bucks. check it out!emma ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594136509329263914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421740906958609009.post-83571683228970821992009-02-27T13:05:00.000-06:002009-02-27T13:05:00.000-06:00Oooh, those are all good ideas!

Shoes are so expensive!<BR/><BR/>I treated myself to some workout gear from Target last weekend. Nothing like looking cute to make you want to work out!Jennellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048007807899721658noreply@blogger.com
