Great post on the Garmin Forerunner @The Sisterhood! That monitor is everything I'm looking for--almost. I like that it also has the "foot pod" thingy so it would be possible to track progress even in the winter when it's just too icy to walk outside.
Now, if they just made it so you could get a heart rate reading by placing fingers on it like the Bowflex heart monitor watch (so getting heart rate doesn't require putting on that uncomfortable extra strap doo-dad that I always forget) then I'd really consider replacing my Bodymedia Fit...
