I have been using a Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor since March to help calculate calories burned during runs and workouts but it doesn't have an option to measure distance (not that I know of anyway). Does anyone have a HRM that does this as well? Or am I getting too needy? :)

    You're probably going to either a pedometer or a GPS-enabled HRM.

    The pedometer can make some distance estimates assuming you calibrate it for your stride.

    I use a Polar H7 HRM linked to my iPhone via the Digifit app, which tracks location/distance using the iPhone's built-in GPS.

    Edit: You could also use something like Endomondo or MapMyFitness to create a map of your walk/jog/run and let it calculate distance for you. It won't be automagically tied together in a neat little package, but it'd work. :)
