in honor of the half marathon i'm doing tomorrow i bought a garmin forerunner 110 w. okay, maybe i just really wanted one. i'm incredibly super excited!!!
i don't so much care about the heart rate monitor portion but it is a nice to have. i can put in my height, weight, age, fitness level and it will calculate my calorie burn for me based off of all the combined factors.
what i do i care about is the gps and the timing capabilities. no more wondering how far i've gone or having to get in my car or on my bike to map new routes since the gps tracks my distance. and it stops running when i stop running (e.g. red lights) so the timing is more accurate. it can produce a total time (both running and stopped), time per split (you can set the distance you want your splits to be and it will automatically track), average time of splits, etc. etc. the memory will store 180 hours worth of workouts but i can download it all to my computer and track my training that way.there is pretty much nothing this watch can't do (excpet maybe run for me).
did i mention i'm sssuuupppeeerrrr excited?
