To Garmin or Not to Garmin? That is the question.

The Captain gave me sweet moola to get myself a Garmin for Christmas . So I was looking at them online and realized how much money they cost. I was excited about getting one, but now realize that it might not be the best for me.

Here are my personal pros & cons. (God, I love lists)
Pros

1. It will assist me in my mileage counting obsession
2. IF I ever go a different route (yeah right) I will know how far to go.
3. I can track my times and progress
4. It's cool and people will think I'm a real runner (ha ha)

Cons

1. The price
2. I never go different routes (I would have to drive, because of where I live)
3. I already know how far it is to run 5, 10, 15 or even 20 miles
4. I could buy 2 pairs of jeans with that money
5. I could buy 1 pair of jeans and new shoes
6. I can time myself with the watch I already have
7. It's really bulky and I get easily irritated when I'm running.

I'm going shopping this afternoon and it looks like new jeans are winning over the little G.
Any thoughts, advice, opinions????
