GPS

Do you use a GPS watch for running? A Garmin 305 (or other)? I don't have one, but would like to. I'm using my ten dollar watch from Walmart-it has big digital numbers so I can see it w/o my reading glasses! :-)

Anyway, I saw this article today and wondered about the future of GPS: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/may/19/gps-close-to-breakdown

That's all.

  1. I have a Garmin 305 and LOVE it! I don't use the heart monitor, just want to know my pace/mileage/overall time, which it is perfect for. You won't be sorry if you invest in this!

  2. Thanks for the advice. I'm really wanting one. I put off buying b/c I keep wondering if I'll be able to continue running for the the long haul. Will it be worth the investment, for me personally? If I can make it through this hot and humid summer, maybe I'll reward myself with one. Or maybe if I buy one now, it will keep me motivated to continue running this summer . . . we'll see.
