In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Early afternoon run with Elliott. Nice and sunny. Low 60's. My garmin 205 has died. I believe it was due to water damage from Friday's run to work. Haven't decided whether to upgrade to the 405 , repair this one, or buy another 205. In the meantime it will be a switch for me to run without a gps. I probably haven't done three runs in a row without the garmin for several years. I'm hoping it is a nice change of pace.

$125.00 That seems like a good deal to me. I can have it in probably 3 to 4 days.

is the $125 a new one in box or refurbished? I think I may have Garmin repair mine ($89). I'd love to upgrade to the 405 but $300 is too much.
