workout gear...old and new

today getting ready for a run....put on my new GPS enabled HRM monitor/watch :drinker: , next getting my ipod shuffle and yikes! the battery is dead. :noway:
this got me to thinking of all the gadgets we love and use while working out.....I was thinking to many years ago, before ipods when I actually carried a portable CD player with a burned CD of my fav tunes. :laugh:

got any funny or old gear you used or fav's you use today?
