Sharing The Love and One Step Closer To Cult Of Garmin

One of my most important pieces of "gear" is my RoadID.  It gives me piece of mind when I leave the house - especially on long runs.  I use the shoe pouch and keep a house key in it (and a car key when I go to a race or I drive to a spot to run).  However, the shoe pouch eventually gets a hole in it (this is my second hole-y shoe pouch) - likely from the key moving around inside and poking at the side of the pouch.  I ordered a replacement pouch yesterday and received the following email:

"We are thrilled to have you as a customer and hope that we can count on you to spread the word about Road ID. In fact, to make it fun to spread the word, we created a unique coupon for you pass along to your friends! Here's the coupon number:  Coupon Number: ThanksMike457765"

So, this coupon is good for $1 off any Road ID order. It can be used up to 20 times in the next 30 days.   Happy RoadID buying!!!

And talking about happy buying, I believe I'm a bit closer to joining the "Cult of Garmin".  (the Garmin is starting to remind me of Mac computers - their biggest marketeers is the user base and how much they love using the product).  I keep on getting blog comments and reading in forums on how much people love their Garmin Forerunners and that I will not be sorry with my purchase.

The Fox Family is on a bit of a budget right now, and "frivolous" $175 purchases - like to purchase a Garmin 305 - were not really in the budget.  Actually, neither was the $75 to "upgrade" to a non-broken Polar HRM...

However, I was planning to run in two Half Marathons this Spring - the National Half and the Run For the Shelter Half.  I will nix running the National Half - which will save me $80.  I guess on the morning of that race I'll just go out with my Garmin and run 13.1 miles elsewhere :-)  The Run For the Shelter half marathon is a bargain at $40 - perfect for us cheap runners who are on a budget.

So there you have it.  Everyone saves money with this post!
