I’m a Garmin Owner!

I finally took the plunge, my friends. I did it.

I bought my very own Garmin – FINALLY!

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but hadn’t looked into it seriously because, honestly, I didn’t want to fork out the cash for one. But then, yesterday, I got wicked annoyed.

I was throwing on all of my clothes for my run and I had to search out my hr monitor watch, the chest strap, my iPhone, my iPhone armband, and then my headphones if I wanted music. It was just too many  things for a simple 30 minute walk  run. I’ve always used the Runkeeper app on my phone to track my mileage, but even that hasn’t been impressive. Besides, iPhones are huge and I’m tired of lugging that huge thing on my arm. I don’t have nearly enough biceps for that! In short, I was REALLY wishing that I had one device to track my calories, my miles, my pace, my distance, etc. In short, I was wanting a Garmin.

I had previously emailed Neon Blonde Runner and Hungry Runner Girl and they had both recommended the Garmin 305. I looked it up online and because it is an older model, it was only $138. Totally doable. AND I’m super excited because you can also use it on a bike, which totally makes me happy.

Hooray for impulse purchases!!  

Now, is there anyone out here who will show me how to use it??

Do you run with a Garmin??
