I want to ditch the treadmill and start running outside more often, but I usually take unmarked trails near my home so I have no idea how far I have gone. I've tried looking for GPS watches for women,but I havent really been able to find any. Does anyone know of a women's gps watch or some sort of distantce tracking watch that isnt a crazy amount of cash? Thanks for the help!!

Cardiotrainer is my favourite GPS running/walking/cycling app. If you don't have a smartphone, trace out your route on mapmyrun.com.0

I Love my Garmin FR60. Around $1000

I have the Garmin 305 also that I bought on Amazon. I bought it this summer for $130 (now it's at $150) It's so worth every penny. I am still learning all the cool features it has. Runkeeper on the Iphone is cool too I just hate carrying the phone!0

I use www.mapmyrun.com on my computer after I run. There is an ap for smart phones for this site too! And its free! Been using it for the last 2 or 3 years. I've been looking getting the Garmin 305...waited too long, and now the price is going up, up, up on Amazon. Thinking the Christmas season is driving the price from $138 to $154 (just checked). Saw it up to $175 a couple days ago. Good luck and keep up the running!0

This. A lot of bang for the buck. I love mine! I'm a bit OCD so I have an Android app I also record it in as well as a Windows program and 4 online places as well. Yes, I'm a dork.0 -
I used Mapmyrun to calculate 1/4 mile increments as well as 1 mile laps near my home. I also use a pedometer (FitBit) to determine pace and distance and burn.0

I have a Garmin 305 and I use runkeeper.
A couple others that I have come across that I liked. I don't use them only because I bought the paid subscription from runkeeper.
www.endomondo.com looks like it's a good one.
www.dailymile.com looks really good too. I really like that they have a blogger widget.0 -
Wait a couple weeks and the 305 should be cheaper again.
99% of the time, I run. Then I use google maps to figure out the distance and my pace after the fact. Total cost? $25 timex watch.0 -
garmin 305 and using pace alert to make myself run faster!! Makes for tough runs.0
