Thank you for the very detailed post. I just recently, finally got a smartphone and I love the gps tracking on it, so much so that now I want a Garmin. Couldn't figure out the difference between the 405 and 405CX so I googled and stumbled upon your blog. Thanks again for the info. I think you got me convinced to go for the 405CX instead of the regular 405. Too bad these things don't last longer than 10 hours, maybe they've invented something for that...it's been several years.Rick Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136335498532576460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-59401488824580018212012-02-11T20:58:35.988-08:002012-02-11T20:58:35.988-08:00Wow!!!

Although after reading your review on the 405cx, I believe I will be content with it. Does anyone have any comments on the 110? I may look into purchasing it in the future, if I decide the 405 isn't what I need. The 110 is the newer forerunner, right?Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-80789615397748207742011-02-21T02:26:33.525-08:002011-02-21T02:26:33.525-08:00Can you or anyone somehow provide an example GPX (...Can you or anyone somehow provide an example GPX (?) file?

I stop by your blog when I have a moment and I was motivated to comment on this post. <br /><br />First of all, good for you in going to a concert on your own. I'm generally fearful of doing these types of things on my own too, but a few weeks ago I went out to a nice restaurant on my own. I won't say that it was as nice as having someone to go with me and talk to, but it was an empowering feeling. Later I felt like, 'yeah, I CAN do that if I want to!' So, I hope you had an amazing time at the concert, met some great people and continue with your life/health goals.<br /><br />JennaJenna Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066025798456232501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-70724455985221407022010-06-11T17:03:46.528-07:002010-06-11T17:03:46.528-07:00Well done review--the number of positive comments ...Well done review--the number of positive comments is a sure sign of success!Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-29710426032809610362010-06-06T18:22:57.640-07:002010-06-06T18:22:57.640-07:00Thanks for the reviewThanks for the reviewmoikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022272866648705254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-87453740979148353442010-04-28T21:21:31.324-07:002010-04-28T21:21:31.324-07:00It is really nice review indeed.

I was a little disappointed that spring break was this week rather than the previous week, but it's been grand nonetheless.<br /><br />Really looking forward to getting back on the bike once it warms up a touch more!

This little 3 week cold snap has been great for the ski hills, but awful for weekend gardening.<br /><br />You can get on REI's mailing list (via website or visit to the store) and get great info about upcoming events (one of which is the garage sale).<br />They have all kinds of classes/events/retreats relating to outdoor enjoyment in the sierras. Many of them are actual "meet on the mountain, go hiking, have a BBQ after" type of events. Check them out!<br /><br />The next REI Garage sale in Reno is June 12th, 10am to 3pm. Don't miss out!Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992862632771071912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-90637813980397635022010-04-01T16:36:17.369-07:002010-04-01T16:36:17.369-07:00You and your review rock!

I have been a Garmin snob and went from the old version, where you wore the big brick on your arm and a super clunky watch to the 305 which seemed so streamlined in comparison and was about to get the latest eye candy, the 405, when I noticed there was a 405CX...<br /><br />Your review was just what I needed- a real, live person using it and comparing *everything* it to the 305.

Don't tell my doctor (because he surely actually knows this already), but I think the sun and fresh air is doing more for me than the medication.<br /><br />So I'm doing better everyday. Thanks for asking.<br /><br />And: REI garage sale?!? How did I miss such a thing? I'll have to be on the lookout in the future.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768962021624581684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-2948500826104427182010-03-06T16:33:34.468-08:002010-03-06T16:33:34.468-08:00Hi Karen,

I found that within one week, I felt nothing at all. Just "flat-lined" emotionally. Like a zombie. I actually quit taking the medication altogether and never went back to that doctor.<br />I wouldn't recommend to anyone to completely stop taking a medication without consulting a doctor, but it worked for me. I think that if I had been taking the medication for some extended amount of time, I would not have quit cold turkey (so to speak) like that.<br /><br />Anyway, I see that this post about walking every day is a few weeks old. How are you doing? Are you still walking every day? How do you feel?<br /><br />Amazingly enough, I live in Reno also. My wife an I just went to the REI garage sale, and are so excited to starting walking/running. We are SOOOOO done with the gloom and cold!<br /><br />Hope all is well with you.<br /><br />ThadThadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992862632771071912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31148816.post-16944809250259114392010-02-23T06:10:25.546-08:002010-02-23T06:10:25.546-08:00Hey, old friend.
