March 19, 2008 - I love and hate my Garmin 205!

Yo run gang,

I love and hate my Garmin 205, just like any good coach I suppose. I sure miss logging my miles using a fudge factor to tally them. Lets see, a 40 minute run, 5 miles sounds about right today, it felt like 8 minute pace; thats how it used to be. Now, on a windy day with some bad footing I look down at 40 minutes figuring an 8 minute pace effort only to see its hardly a 9 minute pace and I have at least 5 minutes to go before the 5 mile mark. Who ever guessed it would take technology to make me an honest man? I sure miss the days when running for a longer time meant logging more miles!

Get out and run!
