A dear, dear friend of mine got me a gift this weekend.  A new Garmin Forerunner 305 - which is a much neater piece of equipment than I originally suspected.  :)
This week I'm supposed to be tapering for the race, so I wanted to run for 30 minutes at an easy pace.  I strapped on my heart rate monitor, tuned in my watch to all the nearby satellites and away we went!
Things to mention:
- I didn't prime (gah!) so my breathing was labored and heart rate was higher than I'd imagine it should have been
- Heart rate monitor made me a little sore about halfway through the run, which really distracted me.  Hope that goes away with use.
- I LOVE the detail in the data.  I think this will really help me to focus my workouts and bring some real value to each one.
Every workout has a purpose.
Thank you, YJ.  Love it!
