Sunday Workouts

 Continuing on in my quest to do a HM I completed my 8 mile run today.

Not breaking any land speed records, but I'm pleased with the progress.

4 mile tough hike today. My hip has joined my knee in protest of physical activity -ughhh.

Ran 15.1 miles in 2:26:26 in the POURING Rain, and it was AWESOME! 2 weeks until my 100 Mile ULTRA...

took a 2nd rest day in row, legs were still really sore from friday and didn't want to chance it...  back at it in the AM.

Jay,

How do you like your Forerunner?  Do you find it easy to use and set up?  Do you feel it gives an accurate calorie burn?

I'm looking for something in the $200 range, that I can use running, hiking and when I use my pedals at work.

 Yasmeen,

I love the Forerunner 305. It's a little big, but I believe that mos****ches with this type of functionality are larger. I think it is really easy to setup, and the Garmin Training Center and the Garmin Connect online pages are great for uploading your information, and tracking your progress.

The watch does everything I need. As for the calorie burn. I think it's a nice feature, but I would not depend on its accuracy for monitoring how to eat during the day. The numbers I am sure are based on your workout zone, your age, your time, etc.. and are generic numbers at best, but that would be true for any watch that gives a calorie burn calculation.

It's well worth the price.

Jay

Thanks for the review!  I have placed my order, now I have to impatiently wait for it to arrive.  :0)
