Setting Splits on Your Garmin Forerunner 305… it doesn’t come out of the box recording splits automatically, but did you know it can be set to record splits?
I’ve owned a Garmin 305 since I did my Garmin 305 Product Review in March of 2010. It’s one of the best toys a runner can have.
Before owning a Garmin GPS tracking computer, I used to run predefined courses and then map them out on either Google Earth, Map My Run, and now, lately, if I do this any more, over on USATF America’s Running Routes.
To be honest, after a good run, the last thing you want to do is sit down and tinker on the computer.
So I snagged a GPS 305 back then because it was on sale for a ridiculous price on Amazon.com. Today I took a peek and today I noticed a Garmin or two on sale for around $180 at the time of writing this article. (Garmin GPS Watches on Amazon.com)
Since my introduction to my Garmin, I’ve been loving the premise of turning on my Garmin 305, putting it in the window sill until it catches the satellite signals, and taking off. This works out great because the watch needs a few minutes to find the sky and I use that time to load up my running fuel and water bottles. By the time I’m done with that, my Garmin is ready.

I’ve sadly ben sucked into the GPS world of things when I had purchased my wrist mounted GPS unit Garmin. For today only, April 19th, Amazon has the TomTom GO 730 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator on sale for just under $150. A serious 50% off the usual price they list it for. I thought you’d want to know gang!

This is yet another down-to-earth product review of a consumer item I’ve purchased and played with! My latest running endeavor pushed my limits beyond my longest run, which was last week, at 8 miles and this week, I ended up running 9.5 miles. That was something in and of itself. But more to the point, I was able to register exactly 9.5 miles because of my Garmin Forerunner 305 that I just purchased this week.
I didn’t expect to have my Garmin with me on Saturday’s run. I ordered it from Amazon.com
Thursday morning. I just happened to be hitting up my UPS Box for my usual Friday mail run. When I got this big box, it confounded me because it couldn’t have possibly been my new Garmin Forerunner 305. I had received a bunch of movie screeners and a few other things. But sure enough, the large box was “it.”

I was writing up my running article on some kick-butt Sport-Wash Laundry Detergent and while looking things up for that, I found some Garmin GPS products that have some serious discounted prices over on Amazon. This might be a no-miss opportunity for some of us. (Crap, yes, I said us.)
Oh my god, I can’t tell the wife… I’m doomed. I’ve been looking at Garmin toys for a while now, but I couldn’t justify the price of these super cool runner’s tools. Meaning, I can’t tell her I’m buying these Garmin GPS units.
I don’t know how long the price slashes are going on for, but at least as I put this article together, there are some great prices as of 3/17/10!
