Garmin 305 Forerunner : This device changed the way I approached outdoor running. I have run in different parts of the world wearing this and found it to be extremely reliable . Until one is a very seasoned runner it is very difficult to judge the pace you are running at. This is where Garmin 305 steps in. With the help of overhead satellites I know exactly at what pace I am running at, and the exact distance covered. There are some navigation features too, in case you lose your way back home. This information is particularly helpful for planning training runs and in actual races. I should also mention that the data that is acquired during running can be downloaded to Motion Based where very advanced analysis of the completeted run can be performed.
Nike PLUS, Nano iPod : Well on long runs you need company, I listen to Music, Podcasts in educational topics and lately a new passion attempting to learn French. Presently I am probably at Preschool level. Wearing Nike plus shoes a small sensor sends information to the iPod, you can keep a log of the distance covered. I get this information on Garmin 305 as well. Post run the information can be downloaded to nikeplus website, where as a member of the biggest Running club in the world I have been able to compete in different challenges.
Oakley Thump Pro Sunglasses: My latest acquisition, shades with a MP 3 player. No more nuisance of hanging wires.
I like this post and I definently love the Nike Plus gadget, but the neat thing about the Garmin 305 allows you to track down mileage from running, and biking! Which makes it really cool. So this was a nice post, but daddy, you really got to make more posts, but other than that, this was a very nice blog!!! And this post is also very nice!
