ELEPHANT B
I started to run about 2-3 miles per day. I want to steadily increase the distance so I want something that will measure how much I run in a fast, easy and cheap way. I've heard the Garmin watches are great but there way to expensive and I'd rather get new shoes. Also, I don't have the time to sit on google earth and plan it out. I've heard Nike + works pretty well, I have an Ipad and a Android phone but I'm not going to buy a Nano just for this. I don't like carrying my phone either. Any suggestions, accuracy dosen't have to be perfect.

I bought my wife a Garmin Forerunner 210 and she loves it. I know they are a bit expensive, but you can track your runs online and it's a good motivator to keep going. For $129.99 (price from Garmin), you can purchase the less fancy Garmin Forerunner 10,
If you don't want to spend anything more than you have, I would definitely suggest finding a good app for your android device. They are usually inexpensive and get the job done. Unfortunately I have nothing to suggest since I have an iOS phone.

It sounds like you want to get him a GPS watch.
An alternative to that is the Nike Sport band which is only $60. it uses a sensor you attach to your shoe laces or put in a nike + shoe. Not as accurate as a GPS watch but they look cool, plus they get you onto the Nike + site.
The cheapest GPS watch I know of it the Timex Marathon. It's about 100 bucks and not really that great a watch. And I'm thinking $100 is probably out of your price range, anyway.
As an alternative, you might get him an ipod shuffle.
A similiar idea is that a lot of runners need a watch with an interval timer. The Casio Men's W756-1AV Digital Sport Watch is only about $20 but is a great watch for the money.
