I wonder if mine will be male too ;) Lindsay - Sweet! Thanks for the tip. I already told Steven. Ha ha. I didn't know about BiM. It's so neat that you can use your cell phone! I will have to try that, in case there is a day I cannot use Steven's watch. And thanks :) Nat – Aww, Mike! I wonder if mine will be male too ;)

I second BiM from Erin. That's what I use. Also use SportsTracks too. I'm a software freak I guess. Congrats on the sub-2hr half marathon! Lindsay == Jealous!! :-D I haven’t looked through all the comments on here but Garmin is offering a $50 rebate on the 405CX now on their website! ;-) You know for the early present buyers out there… good until 6/30.

Hee hee. You know, as long as it paces me and knows how far I've gone, that's really all I need. CourtneyInControl - I didn't either! Well, until I started reading Runner's World again last fall and saw that ad for it! Hee hee! They definitely sold me! Mrs. Smith - Thanks! And I think the fact that you want one of these is a sign that you are turning into a true runner! ;) Hotch Potchery - Ha! No wonder we are so similar, it's the Leos in us! You won't dork up the running trails! You'll probably start to notice even more people with them if you get one! Ren - Once you start, you can't stop, right? ;) Tony – The funny thing is, they came out with the updated version of the 405 right after I bought it for Steven! Hee hee.

I even have my own (adapted) scripts for rendering the data on Google Maps, but it's no where near as nice as this Garmin Connect site. I guess I'm going to have to consider upgrading to the 405. The real problem with this for me is that it'll almost certainly push me to get one of the Edge 605/705s for my bike... :-) I’ve had a Garmin Forerunner 201 for about 4 years and have been occasionally tempted to upgrade, but have resisted.

After looking at the 405, it seems that my 305 fails in comparison. It's impossible to keep up with these things, argh! I hope you get your Garmin for your B-day.
