My 2006 Garmin 305 has been having a few problems so I ordered a new one from GPScity.ca Sunday night. Cost $119.95, shipping 9.95 via Fedex, add GST and the total is $146. It arrived Tues morning. :D Really good service, just wanted to let others knows if you're in the market. Funny part, my kids ...

Congrats Nick and great report. Next time it's first place right?

Update...lovin' it so far. Not using the heart monitor piece though

GPS City... Just announced the 305 on sale for $119.95! !! $-) $-) Let's just say I paid A LOT more than that for it a few years ago.. Thank you for that....someone else posted the gpscity link in the buying forum on here, and when I got on the link, I saw the 119 price. It was delivered to my door...

I tried one of the podcasts tonight, one of the hip opening ones (because my hips are where I generally have the most issues!). It felt really good, and the stretch was great. I'm such a newbie though, had a hard time balancing (flexibility isn't an issue for me... balance is!). :lol: Going to try ...

Am in this year, missed the last one

Ironboy...what is your current 5k time? It's like anything else in life, the more you put in, the more your output. I am sure Michael Phelps, Mutai ( Boston winner ), Hussein Bolt will all agree

Yep, but not on the same day.

Is there a qualifying time for this as well?

It was boiled potatoes, Greek salad and oven roasted chicken breasts here

I just popped into Chapter - Indigo......they have a sale going on right now on books, and during my rummage around, I came across a book called "Running" that has training, diets and more in it, reduced to $5.

Just thought I'll share that

Someone said in another thread that a sub 1hr half won't happen for a long time, well Geb came close and it's only a matter of time.

That's the size suggested to me...... I am the newbie of the group so I welcome all advice. The trip is 10 days with 5 days bping from rim to rim. We will be self reliant team of 6 or 7. May I suggest a smaller size pack, supplemented with a "day pack" for the front? You might not think t...

I have been running for a while now without one, but most runners seem to have one......for those that run with one, please convince me to get, and how would I benefit from it? I don't want anything complicated with stuff buried in the menu, I just needs a simple one with quick access to view distan...

I like this remix for that final dash

It was busy so I was glad I had selected my items on Saturday. I picked up some gear for my Grand Canyon trip. Two pairs of backpacking boots to test bout, a 65l backpack and a sleeping pad. I was happy to get the discount on Bushtukha's lower prices. That is a big backpack for GC, are you going to...

Is there a 5k now at Boston?

Not before someone runs a HM in sub 55 minutes first, which will probably never happen.

They said the same about the 100m sprint a few yrs back, sub 10mins is all very common now. Also most elites don't do halves

Are we ever going to see a 1:50 Marathon?

Good luck to everyone doing BM! Make sure you get lots of rest

I went in today after reading this post, hoping to catch the deal, but the price at Loblaws right now is $19.99. I just a bought 3 singles of different flavours to try out

I was stoked when I came across holabird and runningwarehouse, but got disappointed when I found out that I can't order the Asic or the Nike that I wanted :( Why would the manufacturer get the online retailer to do this to would be customers? I am particular looking for the following 3 shoes: 1. Nik...
