I know I'm not the first person to post this, but give me a break! Running is a great form of escape from being tied down to technology. I run somewhat regularly, and I plan on completing a marathon this year. I think the two pieces of 'technology' that I will use are 1) a good pair of shoes, and 2) some sort of timing device (a $5 wristwatch would do just fine). I really don't want to check my email at mile 10 or anything silly like that.
Music is another issue; I had been using that as my timing device because my regular watch is too nice to wear out running, so I was counting time based on the length of Radiohead tracks. The problem I find is that bud earphones fall out too easily, while headphones increases the sweat factor.
