As a user of Nike+, I quickly got disheartened with the inaccurate distances and lack of information so decided to bite the bullet and “invest” in a GPS watch. This is my first wrist mounted GPS (the other Garmin resides in the car) and today, the postie delivered it special delivery. I unwrapped the well packaged parcel, plugged in the docking cradle and left it to charge.

After 10 mins (sorry, but I couldn’t wait for the full charge !), I set off on a run not knowing where I would end up.

7.50 kilometres later and I am one happy Garmin owner…within five minutes of returning, all results were uploaded to SportTracks. Okay, my times cant be compared with Usain Bolt however, step by step, day by day, I will get there…
