Holy Wind Batman

End of January and the extreme cold we have been having decided to take a break for two days. So I HAD to go outside for a run today even though it was super windy with slight drizzle. And the fact it is supposed to be a high of 19 on Weds. Oh yeah and it FINALLY gave me a chance to try out the new man in my life - mr. garmin. I am seriously hooked. I need to read the manual a bit more to see everything it can do but I love the new guy. He told me I average a 8:58 over 4.4 miles (a distance I always thought was just shy of 4). The run went good too despite the wind that blew me to the other side of the path. It was funny but at least I didn't fall over.

Good job running in the rain! I've done it in the summer before (and in Florida, no less), so the cool rain felt good. But I can't imagine in the winter - brr!!!

Hey great job on the surprise miles and the repeat run with garmin. I predict you are back!! I had to use Garmie for awhile before I went to the manual and really dug in to see what I wanted. Have fun with the new guy!

Hi Jamie

Ok, I will admit it... I have Garmin envy. It seems like everyone has one except me. I guess the fact that I don't use a heart rate monitor either makes me a "caveman runner". I guess I will have to stop running in the knee socks as well. Oh me...
