iPhone GPS? First, GPS on my watch…
I just got my Garmin Forerunner 305 in the mail today. It’s a $200 GPS enabled sports watch the tracks my running and tells me how fast I’m going. It comes with a heart rate monitor which straps around my chest and displays my heart rate on the watch while I’m running. Pretty nifty. I can’t wait to try it.
I got it mostly because of my failed attempt at running the Aloha Run in under 1 hour. I want a better way of keeping track of my speed while I’m outdoors. Hopefully this will help. I’m pretty excited about exploring the social features of the watch too. It records all my runs and can compare me to other people who use the watch through an online community.
The thing is HUGE though. I mean seriously. I don’t know whether to look at it or talk to it. I think it’s waiting for me to say “Beam me up, Scottie!”
