Cool, windy, but no gnats harassing me today. B-) I actually set-up a workout in Garmin Training Center last night, and loaded it on my FR305. I used it today, and it worked out well. The display did not complain about my HR being too low, and I could hear the chimes easily enough over my iPod. I do need to add at least (5-10) minutes on the end for the cool-down walk home, though.
I'm thinking of buying a new iPod. I'm interested in the iPod shuffle, which I can just clip onto my shirt, or other garment, while exercising. This way I can leave the larger iPod nano (3rd Gen., 8 GB) at home. I bought an armband for the nano on eBay a month ago, and it's working out well, but having it strapped around my bicep can be a little irksome during parts of my gym workouts. The new iPod nano (6th Gen., Multi-touch) is pretty sweet. One of the accessories I saw for it was a wrist-band that let's you wear it like a watch, and an option (already included in the nano) that let's you display a watch-face on the screen (analog, or digital). Silly? Trivial? Maybe, but it still strikes me as cool.
iPod Playlist (workout): Oingo Boingo - Best O Boingo, Orgy - Candyass, Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party, Lady Gaga - The Fame, Rammstein - Sehnsucht, DJ Brian (mixed by) - Hardesertrance 2.

I never thought I would read someone referring to the iPod Nano as 'larger'. Chords are irksome during workouts. Is the iPod Nano Bluetooth compatible? Maybe you could use cordless earbuds?
The earphone cords I have now are far less irksome: they are "Philips earhook headphones" (part no. SHS4841, purchased from Target) and they have ear-loops so they stay in my ears far better than the original 'buds that came with the iPod. My iPod nano is not Bluetooth compatible. The iPod shuffle I was talking about does not appear to be, either. I run the cords up my sleeve and out my shirt collar, which works fine for my needs.
