Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy!

Would like to BQ - need to shave 23 minutes off PR.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep running.

When I started running my wish that turned into a goal was to qualify for Boston. Just so I could say "I qualified for Boston."

AFTER BQ, I think I will do some Tri events. For sure some Half Ironman events, and see where that takes me.

NEW. That is the theme for the day. I had been saving my pennies and saving and saving. Well. I totally spoiled myself last night. I needed a pair of shoes, those were in the budget, but then I realized I had enough saved to get the watch I have had my eye on. I got the Garmin 405.

So, this morning I got up, it took me 20 min or so to get it to work, put on/tied on my NEW shoes, straped on my NEW watch, and out the door I went. 4.08 miles, and I didn't have the turning points mapped out. YAHOOOOOOOOO. Its a little distracting. I mean I'm trying to run, but looking at the stupid VP (don't go there, Virtual PARTNER), look at the pace, distance, heart rate, wondering if I have the settings right. Then every now and then I catch sight of the newness of the shoes, wow white. Why can't they make at least black in all the shoes?

Anyway, I have a lot of data now. Love the watch.

32:15/7:53 pace (I won't bore you all with all the data, but wow is there data.)

Thanks, I'm liking it so far. One day in. I'm excited to do a long run with it. I can just go and and not worry about things.

Now you are high tech!! You will have to let me know as it progresses, although it may be way too techy for me! We need to buy a new Garmin because the mode button does not work---we can not get splits and at this point in training I would really like to see them!
