My first jog with the Garmin Forerunner 405

Today was my first real jog with the Garmin Forerunner 405. I set the pace I wanted at 12 minutes 30 seconds per mile. As I was jogging I stared to get tired at about .75 miles. When I looked at the training screen, it showed me that I was ahead of the 12.5 pace by 30 seconds. This allowed me to slow down for about a minute until my pace was right with the 12.5. When I hit the 1 mile mark, I was right at 12.5 Minutes. On my second mile I was tired, but looking at the watch let me know how long I could slow down for, and I feel like it really pushed me.  I was able to finish the 2 miles in the time that I wanted. I do not think that I would have hit it without the watch. I’m looking forward to this device helping me out with my training.
