Forerunner

For my birthday Lori got me a Garmin Forerunner 305 watch. It's a big hunk of GPS that you strap on your wrist when you are running or biking. First off it tracks where you go. In this case it was my lunchtime ride today:

And it can do really cool stuff like graph your speed against your elevation, like so:

It also supports a heart rate monitor, and while I had it strapped on today it didn't pick it up. I'll work that out when I get home tonight.

The top of the elevation graph is the Mission Fremont right around Mission Coffee. The big dip at around 4 miles is a fun hill on Paseo Padre that winds down toward Durham.
