I never had a training watch. Do you recommend it?<br />Of course, that's not the main part of the training, but is it an indispensable tool or a perk?<br />Thanks!Amnon I.

I'll keep you posted on how I like it. ...Katie,<br />I'll keep you posted on how I like it. The CX is supposed to accurately calculate caloric burn based based on heart rate.<br /><br />Mel,<br />I'm really happy with my HM time. I wasn't expecting it!<br /><br />Penny,<br />I hope she serves me well!<br /><br />Mel - Tall Mom,<br />Thanks! I never think of myself as tough, but maybe I'm tougher than I think.<br /><br />Pat,<br />Good suggestion! I'll have to remember Athena for something else. I like it.<br /><br />Meg,<br />Yes, she's probably my Anniversary and Christmas present for this year! I don't think a person can tell how well something works until they use it for a while. I'll do a post about her once I get her all figured out.<br /><br />Sara,<br />Thanks for the suggestion! Bella is one of my friend's dogs! Cute name, though.<br /><br />AKA Alice,<br />Is it that bright? Next time I see you at a run I'll show ya, see what you think. It is pretty clear, though, maybe because it's new.<br /><br />Rachel,<br />I'm laughing over Blue Bird of Happiness. When my sister was pregnant with her first child, she had a royal blue dress that her husband called "The Blue Bird of Happiness dress."<br /><br />Anne,<br />It has been fun, but she's a Lucy/Lucinda.<br /><br />IRFF,<br />Thanks. It felt easy and I'm pretty happy about it! I'll do a post about Lucy once I figure her out!<br /><br />Rhoni Renee,<br />There is a method to the madness because it DOES work, but they're still masochistic. LOL.<br /><br />Glenn,<br />My PT Bryan is all excited about my Garmin for the reasons you've mentioned. He can't wait to use it for my training. I wonder if I should be scared.<br /><br />Jill,<br />Thanks for visiting! I look forward to "running" with you, too! I was looking at the green one, the 405, but we got them at a huge discount so I got the 405CX with some extra features.<br /><br />5:49 PMIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163803961338323135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12534874.post-38971928587071382042009-11-20T13:45:29.845-08:002009-11-20T13:45:29.845-08:00Hi, I found your blog....I look forward to running...Hi, I found your blog....I look forward to running with you :). Love your new Garmin, the blue color is way cool! I've had my green one since April and have only read abut 4 pages of the manual - ha. Maybe I'd know more about it if I could understand it?

I'm almost waiting for my 305 to die now....<br /><br />That 405 is neat because Garmin finally is using heart rate to base calorie burn. In the past they always used distance and speed which is *not* as accurate. Your trainer will also have fun now becuase he'll be able to better tailor your workouts based on your heart rate.Fun to be had for everyone!Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12534874.post-50695587872467122972009-11-18T15:43:10.249-08:002009-11-18T15:43:10.249-08:00Oh he IS masochistic! lol Sounds like he'd be ...Oh he IS masochistic! lol Sounds like he'd be fun though when you weren't cursing him & his descendants.
