I hope the HRM on the Garmin 50 works okay, I've had the worst luck with them. <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to shorts weather for running but not the humidity that soon follows it. I saw a guy running in shorts near my office in NYC last week when the temperature was 15 degrees so I guess shorts weather differs by person. Give me 40 degress and low humidity and I'll be very happy.The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-51371729070932435022009-02-09T09:54:00.000-05:002009-02-09T09:54:00.000-05:00I'll ask my husband again and get more details on ...I'll ask my husband again and get more details on the mac stuff - it'll be a good excuse for you to upgrade in the future!<BR/><BR/>I do have the heart rate monitor set up, and have been wearing it on my runs. In fact, I'm planning on developing a more strategic approach to using this week - up until now, I've just been getting use to the 405 in general (so many features!!). Finally, I'm ready to put all of the data it collects to good use! :-) <BR/><BR/>BTW, I have to mention that it was 74 degrees here yesterday - I ran right around 2 miles in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt! You can remind me of your cool weather this summer though, when it's HOT and humid in NC....at 5 am! :-)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286190741200390057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-26463661408388361532009-02-08T17:09:00.000-05:002009-02-08T17:09:00.000-05:00Thanks - I'm happy with my progress this weekend. ...Thanks - I'm happy with my progress this weekend. What a pleasure it was to run without my face and hands freezing until I warmed up.<BR/><BR/>That's encouraging to hear about Mac compatibility. I read about some 3rd party performance tracking apps that can take in the Garmin data as a web service (ask your husband :) but I'd rather be able to run the actual Garmin software on my Mac. I really wanted the 405 but I got the 50 so I'd have something to aspire to. Have you set up the HRM yet?The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-27926480518098374772009-02-08T15:42:00.000-05:002009-02-08T15:42:00.000-05:00Good for you on the runs!!

Don't take my word for it though - I use a mac, but since my husband is my tech support, I don't pay close attention to these things sometimes...I'm just reporting what I seem to remember him saying!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286190741200390057noreply@blogger.com
