Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I'm about to stimulate the economy by purchasing a Garmin 305. I'd also like the footpod but I've seen two different models--one kind of long and skinny and one more square like. Which foot pod should I buy? I've seen the longer skinnier one priced from 35 to 99 bucks--any idea about the huge difference in price? Just curious. Thanks!
Why do you want a footpod? You can run outside in Richardson, TX. BTW, what school do you teach at? I graduated from JJ Pearce a few years ago (maybe 30). Sam
I want the foot pod because my treadmill SUCKS when it comes to distance and time measurement.

If you get a foot pod, be sure to calibrate to a known distance -- the built-in routine on the Garmin calls for 800m on a track. Otherwise, your foot pod will SUCK when it comes to distance measurement.
This is why I run

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
Don't you get time and distance from the treadmill? By all means, stimulate the economy, but I'm trying to understand why anyone needs a footpod, Garmin or Nike.
But the real bonus is if you ever go on an indoor jogging track. Counting 12 laps to a mile is a pain once you start running any distance. My footpod saves me the hassle and allows me to just run when I'm indoors at the rec center.
