Review – Garmin Edge 520 Plus I’ve always ridden, logged rides, and trained with a multi-sport watch (except when I was a kid and had one of those gaugey sort of things), and in the last few years I have also used the top display on my Garmin…
This review will cover a few of the more popular exercise logging and fitness tracking websites, though I’m going to center this review around a few of my favorites and then more briefly touch on some others. This review also goes along with my next blog post – A Review of…
Last winter (2011/2012) was a fairly mild one. I biked and I also ran as much as I was able to, through almost the entire winter. Of course, despite a milder winter I still had to really bundle up. So this year I plan on, and am doing, the same…
