Today Laureen and I just put the GPS on and ran whereever we felt like.  We ran along the creek and then down towards the high school before picking up the trail along the golf course. After climbing the hill on Canyon Road we took a right down into the subdivision to try to find a house that had the kind of brick we're looking at for our fireplace. After we found the house we jogged over to the golf course to get a drink in the club house. We then down along the trail past the driving range and wandered west until we picked up the creek trail again.

I am curious which GPS you use. I am thinking of getting one and looking for recommendations as well as how they work. Any advice you have is appreciated.

Thanks

Kerry, runs with the spouse where pace does not count, just the adventure, pay big dividends. Good to have you back blogging. by the way, very good splits on your run. I have nothing on you with mileage, I just like to run tons of easy miles.

Thanks Brent and Jim. I use a Garmin 305 that, while not 100 percent accurate (particularly on canyon runs), is very useful as a training tool. Used with the Training Center software that comes with it, you can easily keep a record of every detail of your runs and see the improvement that comes from working on particular areas.
