I'm very aware of this thanks, however for training to run I went for convenience.
I like comparing with my friends in the app and using the training plans etc.
The fit to gpx converter is a good way to extract hiking data though!

Garmin Forerunner 55.
It's the most basic one in the running series, but it works well enough for what I need it to do.
It's the first real "closed ecosystem" device I own, as usually I go the open source route for everything, but Garmin has a good track record and the device has helped me train for a half marathon really well. I put a "casio"-style watch face on it, and I enjoy it a lot.

The fact that people were registering .ml domains for projects like this is mindboggling. There are many TLDs to pick from without infringing on the terms of use of a country-specific one.

It's completely valid for them to do so. Their Top Level Domain meant for their purposes.
Even though it's rarely enforced, many TLDs have specific purposes and conditions against abusing it for unrelated purposes.
There are many others to pick from.

@tikibunnyimports It's not easy in the EU either. We can import cars before they are 25 years old, but the tax is high and homologating them is a pain.
Once they are 30 years old, the tax is basically nothing, and they don't need to be homologated as they can be registered as a classic car without all the needed paperwork, so for these cars it's pretty easy. (At least in my country, it differs.)

I don't mind a shitbox, but I'm not on your continent. :)
I have imported a car from japan before myself before though, so I can manage, thanks!

I used to use this one when I was still mixing live music on analog gear.

I try to avoid running at the worst times, and just try to keep my current distances and pace, though they have fallen a little.
