I purchased the Garmin 305 as a 50something runner coming off of an extended injury. I have run marathons in the past but was somewhat concerned about what seemed like starting all over again. I decided that using a heart rate monitor would be the way for me to go. The reason I bought the 305 was a combination of the features offered and the price.
I have been using the 305 for about 3 weeks and overall I have been very pleased. Using the included software it is very easy to create custom workouts based on distance, time, pace, and heart rate and download them to the Garmin. Then simply select that workout and press the start button. the Garmin does the rest. It gives me signals to let me know when my heart rate or pace are not in the zone I am shooting for. It also signals anything else I program into the workout, such as when I reach mile splits or when to change pace. when the workout is over it also signals that and stops automatically. All I have to do is place it in it’s cradle and it automatically uploads all of my workout data.
The only thing I am not pleased with is the inability of the software to track some of the things I would like. For example, it will not track equipment usage. I like to know how many miles my shoes have on them. I have found a couple of programs that I am currently evaluating. Both will do much more than the free Garmin program. They both have a trial version but require a licensing fee for the full version.

The words ‘wildly entertaining’ describe Romeo is Bleeding to perfection. The narration by Gary Oldman takes you back to old Philip Marlowe films. And, of course, Oldman’s portrayal of Jack Grimaldi is, as usual, absolutely perfect. He’ll have you rooting for his “good-guy doing naughty things” character – and he does some really naughty things. Gary Oldman fans have GOT to see this one. Lena Olin is the most frightening, the most enjoyable villainess you’ll ever see, bar none. She’s simply fantastic.

A very dark film about a man’s love, greed, and moral dilemma. Gary Oldman plays a crooked cop named Jack Grimaldi who is cheating on his wife, stealing money from the FBI working for the mob giving up key witnesses for a payoff. His character still has emotion and morals in himself which he struggles with and yet is still likeable in a strange way. He gets in a jam when the key witness he supposed to catch he’s also supposed to kill. He comes up with a plan to have the russian sick Mona Demarkov fake her death by giving her a fake death certificate for money in return. But this plan back fires. The fight scene with him and Demarkov in the car is intense. By the end he is left to his own devices but makes it out okay in his own way. A story about one man’s struggle with greed vs moral. One of my favorite films.

I believe that this may be the best movie I have ever seen. It is very profound. Taking place in a world ravaged by nuclear war, one man dares to stand up against tyranny and oppression and be counted for something he believes in, even though he stumbles across his belief quite by accident. This film is about what we can become, united by a common good, as a nation, to put aside all petty differences, and fight for what is right even in the face of death and impossible odds. Freedom is never cheap, and must always be paid for in blood, which makes it that much more precious. Once again the critics have failed to see, understand, and comprehend the significance of this film. It is not about what we as a nation are, but what we can become.

This movie has a tremendous plot, and will draw you in with its truth, and leave you stunned, in awe. The acting is great, and it has some incredible cinematography. It clocks in at just under three hours long, on one video cassette, but I promise you will not be disappointed. It transpires the original novel by David Brin, which it follows only loosly, and encapsulates the human race. In short, just a really good flick.

This is absoloutely worth the money! I love being able to track my workouts. People complain about its size, but it doesn’t bother me. The size of it allows you to glance at it and see things such as pace, distance, etc. It is also great for intervals, as you can set up programs to beep at different intervals. Definitely recommend this to anyone getting into running or who already runs but wants more information about their workouts.
