(in the spirit of “Running with the iPod“)
So I’ve had my Garmin Forerunner 201 for just about three weeks now, and I’ve had sufficient time to develop some impressions about it. In this post, I’ll talk a little bit about how the Garmin works, how I’ve used it, and the results I’ve seen. My goal with this is to provide just a little bit more information to anyone out there thinking of getting one (it’s always best to be as informed as possible, after all).
(more…)
Sorry, everybody, but the Garmin post will be delayed til tomorrow - it’s been a hectic day (an hour of squash this morning (which I won, yay!), followed by helping a friend just back in from Afghanistan pick up some of his stuff), so I haven’t been able to finish up the post quite yet.
No run - just squash. Well, I guess I could count the seemingly endless sprints from squash as a run, but I wasn’t really keeping track of how far or how long each one lasted….
As Susan mentioned, running today was a tricky business - those of us here in VA had to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Charlie, which consisted mostly of heavy rains and wind.
Since I’m in northern Virginia, I was lucky; I got in my five miles and change well before the rain started this afternoon. I was more than happy to take advantage of the cool weather, though, which meant that my run today ended up feeling really, really good.
And (since I’ve ridden out hurricanes before), I’d like to send my best wishes to anyone reading from Florida or other hurricane-hit areas…
