I'm Connected...........

I finally received a running gift!

That's right, I usually never get a running related gift for Xmas or birthdays, but when asked what I wanted..........

Ta Da...............

Since most of us have been relegated to running on a moving conveyor belt indoors and manually logging our miles, I wanted to go hi-tech.

Do any of you own the foot pod, is there some trick that the instructions won't tell me?

Now I will be generating running data that will collected by my Garmin and magically transferred to my PC.

This will also answer my question about treadmills being calibrated. I've often gotten on a treadmill and swear that I'm running faster than the displayed output. Now I'll be able to tell....

Hey, this might even help me get over my thirty minute mental barrier.

Let us know how it works. I've been curious about the Garmin thing for indoors.

I'm pretty sure my home treadmill goes faster than it claims to. Stupid treadmill.

They make a Garmin gadget for treadmills? Why do I not know about this??
