[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A $50 gift certificate to TJ Maxx.  I have been running 20 years, every piece of clothing and gadget has been purchased there.  If you run with your phone for music or whatever, there are free GPS apps like mapmyrun -- a GPS watch, like a Garmin is totally unnecessary.  Invest in good shoes and get everything else cheap.[/quote]

I definitely agree with you on TJ MAxx--I was just there last night and they had lots of cute running clothes and even some pink Nathan Quick shots bottles for $7.99!

But I actually do use my Garmin a lot.   First, several years ago, before I got a phone with the ability to do running apps like Mapmyrun, and I've just become used to it.   Also, when I've run with a friend, she has used her mapmyrun app and I've used the garmin, and hers has run out of battery on the longer runs. :(   Also, we were getting inconsistent distances--her mapmyrun app. was always telling us we had gone further than my garmin said we had gone--I'm not sure which was correct, but I'd rather fool myself into running more, not less  :)
I didn't pay a lot for my garmin, though.    I found someone selling a used one on Craigslist for a very low price (I think $40?).[/quote]
