Pedometers vs. Heart Monitor

So I went for a jog in Central park.  According to my pedometer I went 3 miles.  I took my sweet ass time though, as I stopped to walk a couple times due to shin splints.

Here are the stats

Ipod Nano Pedometer:

2.99 miles
304 calories burned

Heart Monitor:

144 bpm avg
177 bpm peak
575 calories burned


So either the pedometer is way too conservative, the heart rate monitor is way too aggressive, or my heart was beating way too quickly and I was minutes away from exploding.
