Need GPS for running
I've picked up my running training, but I'd like to get a GPS to track my routes. I'm currently using the map run app on my phone but it's problematic. mainly i have to always "clean up" the route to see actual distance and sometimes the gps doesn't work. Anyway, what are some good, and affordable, GPS trackers for running?

New belt notch
I've been using the same belt for about 6 months (i think it's a size 1x or 2x belt). When I first bought it I was using the 3rd hole in, and that was snug! since starting my weightloss journey in March I've had to add TWO NEW HOLES!! I've decided I won't be buying a new belt until I hit 4 new holes to my current belt.…
