Thank you! We met at "Pitch & Praise", Stayner, ON a few years ago (I'm the fingerstyle guitar guy) and met Jeremy again in Houston at a World Vision Artists event. Dave Fretz got me onto your site...So inspiring! I ran years ago (actually, decades ago:o) and have managed to mess up my back each time I tried to "do what I used to do". The link to Jeff Galloway has been invaluable...The actual "running" (between walk breaks) seems short, but my goal is to still be doing this tomorrow...and next year! Your encouragement is so appreciated.
I do have a question ("Pet Peeve", literally:o)...I live in the country and am often spooked by large, loud, ready-to-attack dogs...any advice?

Tim

Thanks! Very helpful info!

Tim, I forgot to mention that we're still rockstars on a budget ("Rockstars Need Money") so I did my research before buying/recommending this unit and I feel it give the best bang for the buck right now.

Hey Tim! Welcome to the team. As far as your question is concerned, the thing I most like about the 205 is that it allows me to set my intervals and chimes at me every time I need to walk and every time I need to start running. Does that make sense? It's also really nice and compact - some of the other units (such as some of the Timex stuff) requires two pieces - the watch and then the GPS receiver that straps to your arm. If you're REALLY in a budget crunch, you could go with one of the older Forerunner models (I believe it's the 101 or the 201) but hey - it IS Christmas after all!

I am starting to train for the Music City Half Marathon and was wondering about GPS watches. I noticed you suggested the Forerunner 205. Is there a reason this is better than the others? What about a good option for college runners on a budget? ;o). Or is that watch just worth the money?
