Luckily I was able to purchase a new running partner on ebay - a Garmin Forerunner 305.
I was spending hours on google maps, measuring distances, creating routes, etc.... so that is how I justified this purchase. Or maybe because I am a sucker for any type of techy gadget (don't get me started on my collection of kitchen odds and ends). This is awesome because it keeps track of your pace, calories burned, distance, etc... even better it allows you to store locations so you don't get lost. (thank you Lisa for the recommendation!)This came in handy over the weekend. We spent a few days with Scott's sister in Tucson and I was able to go running without having to ask directions or plan my run in advance. I also was able to keep track of my route and not get all lost and dehydrated in the desert.
I think Scott is a little jealous, because I read the manual before I go to bed and leave it on my nightstand before an early morning run.
Yes, this is the first time that I have ever loved a watch
(no, I lied, I loved my Swatch back in 1989)
If only it could do the running for you.
oh, suz. it's so beautiful. i'm in love. i want one!!!
ReplyDeletenoelle - the price has dropped $20 since i bought it. i don't get amazon and their pricing. tell bruce you need it for your baby - so you don't get your heart rate too high.
ReplyDeleteI bought a Garmin too. AND, I still have my swatch from 1989. It's on my wrist right this minute. Maybe the best thing I ever bought. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was me above Suzanne - love Marianne. I'm having a little technical difficulty. I'll get the hang of this soon. I hope. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, just got one. Can't wait till it comes. Maybe it will motivate me to train better. Today I just went through the motions. . . although I WAS pushing Wendy in 100 degree weather. But we stopped a few too many times for water breaks.
