geek

I've had a Forerunner 305 for a while now. On the rare occasion I go running, I find it really useful. At first, I thought t would be a great geeky toy that I'd get bored of - I honestly expected it would find its way into a draw and never be used again after the first couple of uses.

However, it's actually a great running accessory, and I advise this kinda hardware to all by the most casual of joggers. It's far too easy to run too fast when you're out running - you can set the forerunner up to beep at you when you go too fast or too slow - obviously you configure these speeds yourself. Recently I ran a half marathon, I did virtually no training for it, and without the forerunner on my wrist making sure I didn't run too fast or too slow, I'm not sure I'd have finished!
