I am SO STOKED. Last night an Amazon box came int he mail, and i knew it was my bday present and I hoped it was a GPS system for running.
And it WAS!
I got to open it early and test it out this morning. It is the forerunner 205, Garmin model and it is awesome. I saw how fast I was going, how far i was going and for how long I was running.
I did only 3.4 miles this morning with a pace of 9;45. I’m happy with that.
The watch would have been GREAT for my long training runs. You can program it to tell you when to turn around, when you go below a certain pace. You can match your old routes. You can have it show you where to go to get back on track if you are following a certain path and get off of that path.
I can’t wait to test this out with a long run! I’ll wear it for my marathon, maybe-just worried I might see the pace, get nervous and go faster than I need to go.
But once this marathon is over and I begin training for San Diego I’m going to use it on all of my long runs. I no longer have to map out a run! I can just put on the GPS and GO GO GO
Dang my husband rocks!!
