Today, I am thankful for my watch! Yes, my a year-and-so old Garmin FR 305 which has been with me in the great races I've run. Getting this gadget April of last year (through my officemates/friends who were in the US for a business trip) helped me a lot especially when I started training for my first half-marathon in May of that year. It was expensive and I could buy 10 Nokia cellphones with flashlights instead of getting this watch. But I can say that it's all worth it. The watch basically tells me how far, how long and how fast or slow have I been running. It comes with a heart rate monitor that I remember using only once because it kind of felt inconvenient wearing something below my chest especially in this humid weather. I love the training center software that comes with it and how I can easily sync it with my dailymile account.
So this Tuesday, I am thankful for GPS technology and my ever reliable (up to 12 hours of battery life) Garmin FR 305.
