RunningAhead.com

A little clunky, but not a bad little site. Easy to transfer data to it from your GPS. Still playing with it. I like that you can simply send your 'profile' link to somebody... You don't need to send each individual run.

Maps (Courses) can be created, but you can only save in *.GPX format. Most likely you would need to import into mapmyrun and then export into *.tcs format for the Garmin product, but I havne't played with that yet.

Connect.Garmin.com

Connect.garmin.com is pretty easy to link with your Forerunner. Not to much to it, once all the drivers and software was installed. Could get confusing for some people who are intimidated by installations. Get a friend who is 'not afraid' of the internet if you feel overwhelmed.

There isn't a lot to this site, other than storing your information and being able to send some back. You can't 'create' a workout or course from here, but you can see other 'activities' that people have uploaded. REALLY easy to share the information once it's loaded in here too. There is a direct link to Facebook, which I like, and you can get the URL (or web address) of the activity by sending an email (puts the link right in the email).

I do love the 'Player' feature which allows you to replay your run (or other activity). Speed it up or slow it down and see your speed, pace, heart rate, etc. on your run. Click 'HERE' for one of my favorite 'courses'. As long as I don't delete this from Garmin Connect, it will always be here...

Forerunner 305

I just purchased the Forerunner 305. I'll be reviewing it's pro's and con's. I already LOVE it when compared to my Nike+, but I'm currently still using both. It's just more accurate, so far. I did find an issue this morning on a walk from South Station to my office that it 'JUMPED' a block away and came back... Weird... My walking pace was almost at 6 min mile. I know that's wrong. I'm sure there is a way to currect an inconsistency like that, but I need to try and find it. Wish me luck and give me any inputs!
