Garmin 305 Forerunner: you don't have to be a running nut!

I first saw this device at work. One of my friends uses it to keep track of his workouts. He is a big time runner. I am just getting into the walking/running thing. I usually bike. The great thing about this device is that it has a mode for walking and biking. It keeps the two files separate so each sport can be looked at individually. As you can see it is a little large but is light weight and after a few minutes you don't even know its there. The screen can be set up to monitor a variety of points. I have my main screen set to show total time, total distance, mile pace, and heart rate. My main tracking point was heart rate. I wanted to make sure that I was getting into a good aerobic rate. The heart rate strap is hardly noticeable. This device keeps track of the workout and then you can down load the data to your computer and see all of the data plotted on a chart. I'm far from being a running/biking nut but this sure helps me get a better workout. The device picks up the satellites quickly and works even when I'm off road in the trees. This is a great training device. Great even for beginners.

This is a sign that is posted on the fence at Boerne City Park. I had to get a picture of it. Where else but Texas. We were at the park for the 4th fireworks celebration. we had such a good time with family. Next year we plan on doing it again but this time have a BBQ at the park.

A walk in the park

These are some pictures from the park. I'm surprised that there is still water in it with the drought going on. There was a guy fishing and I saw him catch a perch and turn it loose. I enjoy walking this park.
