Lost a Forerunner?

[sapper]

Honesty being the best policy, I'm on the hunt for the owner of a Garmin Forerunner. I found one while out today. I won't say where, apart from the fact that it wasn't on a road, you can tell me whereabouts if it's yours (along with the model and some data perhaps?). The data suggests it is a runner's. Chances of it being owned by a regular forum visitor are slim, but you never know. Maybe you know someone has been sitting in the corner of the pub crying for a few days, but didn't know why.

I applaud your honesty. It's good to see.

I had mine stolen from Glenridding Travellers Rest in 2007 along with a waterproof map and running shades. Grrrrrr - pesky dishonest people.

Got another now so if its a 305 and you end up keeping it i can help with the instruction booklet, chargers, CD, etc etc.

Aww Sapper, a friend of mine lost his mobile on a bus, and someone very nicely handed it in for him, so there are a few nice people in this world, just nice to know you are also one of them! x

Maybe some would have thought "oh, lucky me, I just got a Forerunner". But I figure, if I can find out whose it is and get it back to them, they'll probably be pretty happy and I'll feel good for a bit about that. If not, then, well I'll be the owner of a Forerunner, but without any pang of guilt every time I look at it. I try and keep technology out of my running though (given that it's in every other part of my life), so I'd be happier with the former option.

Thanks DT. Haven't missed a day this year yet. Stretched it out to a couple of (slow) hours today. Feeling ok. Maybe 6/10, up from a low of about 2/10 six weeks or so ago. Hopefully this next month should put me in shape to be able to update the other thread in a positive fashion.

Look forward to that sapper, just keep getting better, think your a positive fashion model

Update: on closer inspection the owner might be called Martin and might be tickling 50 years old in a couple of years. Any ideas anyone?

Hi Sapper,

Great to hear you're out and about, and every day as well! Keep strong.

Sorry, no clues on the owner of the gadget.

Nice one Sapper,

I can tell you from experience that they'll be pretty happy about having it returned.

I lost my forerunner on the Belvoir Challenge 2007, after falling over twice on a steep and very muddy descent and didn't notice it had gone.

I couldn't believe my luck when the event organisers posted it back to me a week later.

I never did find out who found it, it wasn't you was it?
