Didn't realise I was haggling!

Stopped off at our local running shop to see if they could provide some support for my inward-leaning feet (pronating or something). They sold me my first proper running trainers a couple of months ago but I have noticed I am still leaning inside.

£40 later I spot the Forerunner 10. I have been humming and hahhing about buying one - just to keep me motivated. £100 quid the fine fellow says. I said I would leave it because hubby works at Tesco and I can get one for £80 with his discount. Well I can do £79.99. Wow, I didn't realise I was bargaining.

£119.99 lighter I walk out of the shop. Now to get it to work.

would love to know the pros and cons of this beauty

Amazing what they can take off the price when they need to! Enjoy your Garmin. Best wishes.

I have one of these and the only issue I have with it is that it takes ages to load up and fine my location. my advice will be to search location a good few minutes before your run.

Good for you! Well done on nabbing a bargain! I have the Forerunner 10 and I use it for every run now. It's easy to use, it comes with instructions. There are some questions posted about it on here too. I know there are as I posted one! LOL

If yours is slow to find a signal Spiritualencounter then stand still for a minute or so and it will find you. It makes it harder for it when you're moving, apparently

Good to get a bargain. I got one after I graduated and I love it. You will find it easy to use but I haven't tried connecting to the Garmin site yet. Enjoy your next run.
