We found our billionth miler!
I was logging all sorts of miles and my pace was awesome. After the 5k, it was obvious that my monitoring system just wasn’t working for me. It looked like I was running farther and faster than I really was. After several days of researching the various devices available, I finally decided on the Garmin Forerunner 405 due to the great reviews and slim design.
After receiving the Forerunner 405, I was extremely disappointed. No, not with the Garmin, but with myself. Thanks to my previous system, I was running much slower than I originally thought. I ran several more races and in every race, Forerunner was spot on. I love the 405 and the ability to track all my runs in Garmin Connect. The mapping features are awesome. It keeps me motivated, and I don’t run without it. There have been a couple of times I have driven to where I was going to run, only to realize I forgot my 405. I have either gone back home to get it, or canceled the run. That’s how important it is to me to track each and every run . . . accurately!
The greatest thing about the Forerunner 405 and Garmin Connect is when I go off on vacation, I force myself to run regardless. My goal is to run everywhere I vacation, and I have been able to log runs in Mexico, Hawaii (see his run on Waikiki beach, recorded just weeks ago) and portions of the U.S. It’s fun to go back and see all the places I have run in Garmin Connect. Since using the 405, I have logged more than 1,400 miles and burned more than 161,000 calories. I have run four half marathons and plan on running five more in 2012!
Here’s Randy’s run that took Garmin Connect over the billion mile mark and earned him an upgrade to our new touchscreen Forerunner 610. Congrats to Randy and all of you for helping Garmin Connect reach this milestone. Keep ‘em coming.
