Life is GOOD! I'm beginning my 2nd year of running! The year flew by.
My IT band seems to be behaving. After my 3.11 mile (can ya tell I have a Garmin now???) run with Mike Sunday, I lounged like a lizard. My favorite thing to do. In fact, I'll be pool-side in a few minutes.
First things first. I bought a Garmin a few months back, but not knowing what the hey I was doing....I got the heart rate monitor type without the footpod thingy. Then I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get a pace reading. Derrrrr...This time I got the same one my friend Ed has. It's very simple to use, even for me! I can't wait to use the virtual trainer mode. You enter in your distance, time you want to finish and away you go! There's a little man that "runs with you" and if you go too fast or slow I think it beeps. I say "I think" because I am not sure yet. I'll let ya know. Woulda been cool to program little voice messages that say "speed it up you slow poke" or "slow it down Deena"....
I thought of an idea for those energy gummy bear things. I was thinking I'd make a necklace or bracelet out of them. That way I can just chomp 'em off the elastic thread, like those candy necklaces. No looking for them, dropping them or tucking them back while trying to run. Only I just remembered...I sweat a little bit when I run distance. I can just picture what kinda mess that could make....lol. I'll try it anyway.

I just found out I have strep!
So much for your theory of a Happy Monday!
What power does your Garmin have to protect against STREP, huh? PUNY GARMIN, you are useless to me!
On the plus side: Yesterday I ran 13.21 miles (I re-calculated) with STREP! I rock!
But I won't be running for a few days.
Good luck with the new Garmin. Don't let it push you around.

AWWWW GQ!! That's what you get for swappin' spit with the Bride....LOL...I know, it's worth it!! I hope you're feeling better soon!!!
You certainly do ROCK! Wow GQ...you are an athlete!!!!
I'm just so happy to be running again. I have high hopes for Space Coast Half!!!!!
So glad that your ITB issues aren't getting the best of ya! I'm fighting my own devil as well... and I think I'm winning!
Glad you are enjoying your Garmin. They are awesome!
I think that's a great idea. I'd almost pay to see the mess that those gummy bears would make. Thanks for stopping by. I'll add your blog to my reader and be back.
