Doug,

Are you still running a few days a week?  How's it going?

I haven't been lately, but I need to start again.  The good news is that I haven't gained any weight because of it. :good

Sort of related, but not an excuse:

I ordered a heart rate monitor online.  I was charged, but it never came.  When I investigated, I found that the order was cancelled and they issued me a refund. :beat

So I ordered another one from a DIFFERENT online company.  I was charged for that one too and it didn't come.  I tried to contact the company through several methods, but failed everytime. :(  The good thing is I paid with PayPal and I opened a dispute with them.  I received a full refund that day. :jumpie

Meanwhile, the fires came and I didn't want to breath that crap. :flamed The air finally cleared, but I haven't resumed running yet. :eek

What model heart rate monitor are you thinking about getting?  I use the RS200sd with the footpod.  It's pretty cool; it can track your distance, pace, etc... Also, keeps a log of your runs, so you can go back and look at previous workouts. For what you are doing, the RS100 should be pretty good.

Thanks for the link Ari. :good  I don't recall what model I chose, but it wasn't made by Polar.  As I recall, I had read that the battery is not user replaceable and you have to send it back to Polar when you need a new battery? :stupid  On the other hand, I read that Polar invented the heart rate monitor and they lead the pack in performance. :good

Also, I liked the one you showed me in Parker. :good
