Thanks! I was looknig at the 405 but way tooo much for me I'm afraid... , however I'm having a thought - I am going to NY in Jan - will it be cheaper over there?

Hmmm

Yes I was looking at the 405 too when they came out! They are a gorge bit of kit and a lot nicer looking that the 305! Mmmmm one day when I am rich I will have one :rotfl: but that will be a long way off

They might be cheaper over there! Deffo worth a look!

I want (yes want want want) the 405 and would consider selling my Nike + as I really think having the HR monitor is beneficial although I do like it on the Nike when the lady or whoever tells me when I have done each mile and if I do a fastest mile you get a little pep talk from them...sad I know!

I like that too! They are famous peeps aren't they...the ones who tell you you have done your fastest mile! I have had Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods and some woman with a very long name! I want Paula though!!! :mad:

I am off out to do a run in about an hour, while the kids are at karate - it is very foggy so I am glad I am not running in our village which has no pavements and no streetlights - I will be in the city so at least I can see where I am going - I always wear a reflective tabard thing - mine is a ron hill one and cost about £8 - it is nice and light and doesn't get in the way at all, and I wouldn't be without it!

I am getting a garmin 405 for my birthday from my whole family but I quite like the sound of the nike one with someone giving words of encouragement on the way round!

I have found two 20 mile races not too far away from home in February and March - I am going to incorporate them in my training schedule for FLM - it is all starting to seem soooo real!!!

((hugs)) to those still suffering and not able to run. Take time to recover xxx

For those of you looking for a hi-viz for the winter nights, I just bought my OH this for his birthday.

He doesn't like to feel too restricted so he didn't want a full jacket but this is made from mesh so is very lightweight and has lots of reflective panels and stripes on it.

that looks really good chick, something else to add to my birthday list!

That's cool! Wonder why it is called streak? Won't catch me streaking in it

On a serious note, would be good over a little windstopper long sleeved top or something? Probably be better than a coat?

Only a few hours left for me to be 28...eeeeek! A year tomorrow and I will be 30...ahhhhhhhhh! Good times! A proper grown up then!

Its my DH birthday tomorrow too Donna..are you doing anything nice?

I liked that but then i had a vision of a boob either side of the front panel, and thought "uh oh!! that ain't gonna work!"
