Earlier this year, back when I was training for a 5k, I would run laps to help me prepare. Since then I've found that I don't much care for running (bad knees), but I did "run" into a problem when I was training. Keeping track of the laps. Listening to music to help me stay focused, I would count the laps in my head, or on my fingers, only to lose track and question my distance. I thought it would be cool if I could find some device with a clicker to do the thinking for me, but thought I wouldn't be able to find something like that.
Then one day at the craft store I was wondering the yarn section when I stumbled across an interesting device. A knitting counter! There's a few models, but I choose a model from Clover. You can wear it as a pendant, which is nifty since you don't have to hold it, and mindlessly click it at the beginning of each lap. Unfortuanly it doesn't come with a cord, but I was able to use a chain from a necklace I don't use.
Since buying it I've used the counter to measure the 4 mile distance I'm determined to walk, and it's wonderful.
