I'm a late-bloomer with this new toy of mine. I know several of the runner bloggers have been using Garmin devices for several months already. I also remember Jinoe being interviewed by QTV on its features. Thus, I was thrilled when my unit finally arrived a few weeks back.
I struggled at first setting it up and in learning how to use the product. But, I was especially excited when my running data was finally uploaded to Garmin Connect on the web. Suddenly, I'm seeing my activities recorded and my progress tracked!!! I feel like a kid during Christmas and my presents were opened!!!
Seeing my runs transposed to a map of the route with corresponding data on distance, pace, etc. was truly amazing. I'm a technology guy by profession but it still astounds me how technology is being put into everyday lives.
I brought in two additional units but these were quickly taken up by my friend Dante Briones and the brother of Dave de Leon. I wish them good journey with their adventures on the Garmin Forerunner 405. I'm also excited to find out how my new friend Mesh will find her new Garmine Forerunner 310CX -- the newest member of Garmin for the triathlete.
I still have to fully explore the features of the device and its website but my first contact has been truly astounding!!! Thanks Garmin!!

Enjoy your new toy! Gadgets like Garmin and Nike+ have been instrumental in keeping me motivated since it makes every achievement measurable, down to the last meter, second, and heartbeat.
Hi Daytripper1021 -- the Garmin Forerunner 405 is $349. Kasama na yun GPS unit and heart monitor.
Hi Dindo -- you're so right!! I've been running blind all year since I started except for the times recorded during races. Pero now, I can actually track the distance and times properly plus seeing them on maps!! Actually very motivating talaga!!
