Today’s Run:  Rest Day

Last Christmas will be difficult to top.  I received two totally awesome things, one of which I practically begged for and the other, which was a complete surprise.  The thing I begged for was a food processor~which is utilized on a daily basis, thank you.  The surprise was a Garmin Forerunner 305.  Wow~that is utilized almost on a daily basis, also.

What is a Garmin Forerunner 305?  Well, aside from being totally excellent, it is a GPS, heart rate monitor (HRM), pace, elevation, grade %, running buddy…it does everything and then some for the runner.  And seeing as I try to run, it is an invaluable tool for logging runs on my laptop (just plug it in and it loads onto a spread sheet) and telling me how I did that day, and the day before…

Pretty cool, huh?  I have not run without it since I got it last Christmas.  The only problem I have had with it is the wrist bands.  Today, I got my second set of wrist straps/bands that I have replaced in the past year.  I guess I am just hard on them.  But, that is a small price to pay for all the goodies I get out of this mini-computer.

The other thing I wanted to share with you is a funny I posted on FB.  It hit me where I live and pertains to running also.
