I usually run inside b/c of my asthma, and I find that treadmill running is a lot easier on my joints than pavement running. Mind you, a lot of people find the treadmill deadly boring...=PCarolynMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290360308750654039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-54137629302445580592010-03-20T15:57:35.068-06:002010-03-20T15:57:35.068-06:00Coco,

You know everyone seems to love it!<br /><br />Laura,<br /><br />I didn't realize you could turn GPS off! Good to know!<br /><br />Nancy,<br /><br />You training for any races?<br /><br />Andrea,<br /><br />I guess the issue is both Polar and Garmin have their appeals. The question is which one is best for me right now!<br /><br />Jessica,<br /><br />I guess you could view it as adding one more person instead of replacing her! :o)<br /><br />Jocelyn,<br /><br />Cheque is on it's way! lol j/k :oP But yup I'm definitely getting back into it!<br /><br />Liane,<br /><br />Awww - thanks! :o) The support means the world to me! And I know what you mean about a lot of videos being boring but thankfully the P90X ones don't feel that way to me!<br /><br /><br />Maritza,<br /><br />Ahahahah! You're funny prima! :oP So you lust after the 405 eh? I don't know - it doesn't get stellar reviews! Have you played with one before?<br /><br />Marianne,<br /><br />lol They may get suspicious as to why I need TWO sets of P90X! :o)<br /><br />Amber,<br /><br />I think it depends on the work place. But generally it's not uncommon that they'll let you use that stuff for fitness!<br /><br />Kelly,<br /><br />#1 For all your groaning about the planning for your wedding, me thinks I detected a hint of wedding planning love on your blog this week! :o) lol<br /><br />#2 Thank-you for saying that! It's hard not to feel bad about it you know. But you're right! :o)<br /><br />#3 Did they get awesome results? I'm interested to see how it all turns out too! lolA Toronto girl out Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092298085031549866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-70493969012720379192010-03-19T19:33:25.678-06:002010-03-19T19:33:25.678-06:00#1- STDS make me laugh.

I made them small photo books of us through shutterfly. At the end I asked them to be my bridesmaid. It was fun and they liked it. <br /><br />#2- I can definitely relate on the knee issues, but I don't think you should feel like you let people down by not running the half marathon. It's not for lack of trying, you had a legit injury. Knees are not something to mess with. <br /><br />#3- I'm interested to hear about your experience with P90x. My dad and brother did it and loved it, but I don't know if I can dedicate 90 days in a row. It is in your house though which is nice.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964218970797460632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-78834446551969978402010-03-19T14:39:10.855-06:002010-03-19T14:39:10.855-06:00Hey, I think I need to email you - I just sat with...Hey, I think I need to email you - I just sat with my boss about my salary for next year and I'VE been allocated a big personal development fund but I didn't know it could be used for things like gym memberships. Or is that just yours? I will have to ask<br /><br />Get the Garmin. You won't regret it!<br /><br />I'm so excited summer is *almost* here!

Hands down.
I have the 305 and it's ...Garmin. Hands down. <br /><br />I have the 305 and it's practically my BFF, but if you can splurge, I would DEFINITELY go for the 405. It's much less bulky. I have impure thoughts about running my beloved 305 with my car just to get the 405.

It also gives stats after the workout about what zone you were in, for how long, and if it was the "fat burning" zone. Fun stuff!<br /><br />Since you have an iPhone, Runkeeper is an app that also does GPS and will track your pace and all that fun stuff.

The features are better but you would have to get the footpod if you were running on a treadmill.<br /><br />I hear you about the running. I started last summer and really hurt my knee.

I do know that having a Garmin though makes my runs so smooth because I never have to figure out my miles so if you are wanting to focus on running more it might be a good way to go. <br /><br />As for the fitness part, I think we all get off track every now and then and it's great to have friends to give you a gentle nudge. I look forward to reading about your progress, you're going to do great!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707434221124126774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534844495257848164.post-63321493782440805802010-03-19T06:12:10.387-06:002010-03-19T06:12:10.387-06:00I LOVE my Garmin 305..You can turn the GPS off and...I LOVE my Garmin 305..You can turn the GPS off and it will still give you your heart rate. If you want it to track mileage for biking, you need the footpod. There are a ton of workouts you can build into it but if your focus may not be running, it might not be the best...<br />I loved that article on Kara Goucher.
