Garmin Watch

Hubby recently bought the Garmin Forerunner 610 Touchscreen GPS watch with heart rate monitor from Amazon and it arrived last night. He had been eying to buy this garmin watch and thought of getting the 410 model but instead upgraded to 610 for more bells and whistles. He is loving it and this gadget is really nice. He just showed me how he can download the data from the watch to the computer and see the graph of his pace, the map of his route and others. It is really cool. I told him it better be good since it is kinda expensive.

He just started using it this morning when he run for his PT. He like the accuracy of it and the touchscreen is very cool too. It can be used as an everyday watch since it is not bulky. He is still learning and discovering some of its features. He bought this watch because he love to run. He will be running again for a marathon in May and it can really help him to determine his pace while he is training for it. He is excited for having this watch and I am happy that he got it.

On another note, I see more and more of my friends that are into running and some even join marathons. I've been thinking even before to make it a habit to run and maybe one day I can run marathon too. I get envious of their accomplishments. I think if there's a will, there's a way.  I only need to start and become motivated. Who knows I will be joining my husband in the future to run for marathon :-)
