The pebble measures the impact of each footfall, and the acceleration between your steps to determine your distance. While the system is good at guesstimating distances, it's not perfect. When my wife and I tested it, it tended to say we went a tad farther than we really did. Serious runners should calibrate it to their stride.

"We're probably the top team in the world, ever, technically, as far as juggling goes," Vova says and adds ruefully: "But we're probably the bottom team when it comes to presenting...
...delighted. It's the perfect job for a young woman. Yes, you have to be thin, but you learn about style and aesthetics. You travel the world. It exposes you to many cultures. Being a model is almost like going to finishing school, but less boring...
