Garmin Forerunner 210 Review
I first started using a GPS watch a few years back after buying a Garmin Forerunner 405 with heart rate monitor. The touch bezel was the attraction, and also the reason I bailed on the watch because it became non-responsive when it got wet (like from sweat).
I switched to the bulkier Forerunner 305. It worked well, but after a year the GPS took forever to acquire a signal (the last time I used the watch it took 4 miles on a clear day before it picked up my location). Back at REI, I scaled way back to the Forerunner 210 with HR monitor.
Frankly, the 210 is a great GPS watch that is small, lean on features, and dead simple to use. Just charge it and go.
Run like Pheidippides
Submit your Everyday #Anywhere5K times!
We’ve been getting a lot of feedback from you guys about posting your times when we aren’t “hosting” an #Anywhere5K race. Well, to make sure you have a place, we’ve created an Everyday #Anywhere5K finisher form (bit.ly/everydayA5K).
All you need to do is run your own race, enter your time, and repeat.
Zombies? Apocalypse? 5K? Sweet!
Have you ever fantasized about being a character in George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead?” Your heart is pounding and the adrenaline is flowing as you leap over obstacles in an attempt to evade your un-dead neighbor Steve and his flesh-eating ways. That bastard! He’s probably just upset you never returned his Craftsman 154 piece mechanics tool set that you borrowed last summer. Probably.But I digress.
I did a bit of research, and according to The Google, time travel hasn’t been figured out just yet. So y’know, no “Night of the Living Dead” fantasy for you, buddy. Fortunately, I’ve stumbled upon what might be the next best thing. Run For Your Lives, which bills itself as a “zombie infested 5K obstacle course,” will invade at least 11 locations throughout the United States in 2012. If running is your thing, and being chased by zombies is a close second, then this may be right up your alley.
