Circuit City takes the old ones in trade for cash. Eventually, I'll bring my mini in - it's worth $60 - better than sticking it on a shelf and never using it. :/ I had to buy a new iPod to use the Nike+, so I know what you mean – I had the mini, but needed to upgrade.

If you have an iPod nano, for $30, the Nike+ is such a fun little tool. It's not a HRM, but it's still cool. :) I know you already got your very pretty F4 (green’s my fav color!), but wanted to second what Allison said about the Nike+ in case anyone else is in the market.

It is a GPS and heart monitor. I love mine and it motivates me to go longer and faster. It shows your pace and distance and duration. Check out the Garmin 305. It is a GPS and heart monitor.

Love it! I tracks calories burned (I think it's more accurate than machines at the gym), and Heart Rate. It won't track distance thought. If you want that you'll need a more expensive GPS HRM. (Or if you ONLY want distance you can just get a GPS unit.) And yeah, the HRM is basically a watch (mine has stop watch capabilities) so I wouldn't wear a watch with it. If you want distance, you primarily run, and you've got an iPod Nano, or (I think) an iPod touch you might want to look at the Nike+iPod set up. I've got one of those as well and it's very motivating. You can sign up for challenges online, track total distance, challenge yourself to do distances, or calories or whatever. Just another option!

Only HR, time and calories. Have you tried using mapmyrun.com or google pedometer (gmap-pedometer.com)? Those might be your best bets for tracking distance.

GET THE F4! you’ll love it!

Any of the ones from the farmer's market? 2) You should have given me a shoutout for going running even though talking to you at 6am made me want to just go back to bed! 3) After the wedding, we'll go running together in the mornings...treadmills are BAD NEWS. 1) What jelly did you use?
