My late Christmas present!
Todd told me that I could have either cross country skis or climbing shoes for my Christmas present…but we never bought either - so today he decided to buy me a GARMIN! I am SOOOOOOO excited to get it - I can’t wait! Now I’ll be able to track my speed, distance, elevation, etc. AND upload the data to my computer to share and compare! WOOOHOOOO!!!
We compared them online and it looks like this one is perfect for what I want to do. Here’s a link to the specs for the 305. It also comes with a heart rate monitor, which will be cool because I’ve always wondered what my HR is during my spin classes. It says that it has a high sensitivity GPS so that it still works under tree cover - hopefully it will work on the Buckeye trail - that would be awesome!
In other news we are having the annual Easter egg hunt at my mom’s house. I will post photo’s of the event later today - trust me, it’s hilarious because my sisters and I always end up fighting over the last eggs that we find. (My mom puts money in them to make it more interesting). Last year Todd tried to be slick and pick me up - except he DROPPED ME - nice. I guess he underestimated how much I weigh after pigging out on Easter dinner!

Your going to make eliz. jealous. she’ll have to get one now. Mine worked fine on the buckeye, but when we ran it there were no leaves. But even with the leaves you should be fine. You officially join the geek crew.

Sweet! I’m thinking I am going to get the 405 with my incentive refund
I want to get the heart rate monitor too. I am leaning towards the newer one purely because it is smaller and I have freaky small wrists. But I’ll be geeked to see how you like yours since I won’t buy one until at least May.
Have fun on your easter egg hunt!

You are really going to love the Garmin 305. I’ve had mine for a few months, and it is so helpful. I wear it every time I run.
