Garmin Forerunner 305!

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!
