Plus the music is a motivator as well. But I also like the quiet sounds of the early AM as well.</p>Debo HoboTue, 17 Jun 2008 10:58:46 -0000http://runningdaily.com/blog/2008/05/gear/the-perils-of-running-with-gadgets/#comment-5107679<p>I hear ya. I'm a minimalist myself. I can't stand anything around my waist or on my back. (the two times I've tried it, I ended up ditching them...relieved by Phillip both times)</p><p>I don't like music unless I'm on a track or treadmill. (which is almost never)</p><p>I do like the Garmin though. I like to know how fast I'm running. Not necessarily because I am trying to beat other people. It's just a little race I have going with myself.</p>katyMon, 26 May 2008 08:34:00 -0000http://runningdaily.com/blog/2008/05/gear/the-perils-of-running-with-gadgets/#comment-5107681<p>"I like running because it’s a hobby not because I want to beat other people."<br>GREAT QUOTE!</p>karaWed, 21 May 2008 21:39:25 -0000http://runningdaily.com/blog/2008/05/gear/the-perils-of-running-with-gadgets/#comment-5107680<p>You would think, eventually, that all that gear would get heavy!</p>adrienneWed, 21 May 2008 08:47:45 -0000
