A Fresh Start

Ok, so I got up at 6:00 and got back into my normal morning routine.  Devotions, run, exercises, breakfast, computer....and pretty soon work.   Wonder how that will change in a month.  Won't be getting up at 6 that's for sure!

Did my 3 on the TM this morning. 47 outside and not too windy but still dark and I don't like running in the dark.  Afraid someone will run me over!  Good run on the TM though and exercises went well so I'm back on track.

Tried running like Megan showed me last night....more pushing off with the front of my foot...hard to do but it does change your gait.  The Army says that's the way to do it.  She's running 7 minute miles!  But I don't know what she can do over a longer distance.

I heard from Garmin support and they will repair the watch for $89 plus tax and shipping.  So, a hundred bucks?  Think I'd rather buy a new one.  The cheapest model is $129 but doesn't work with a foot pod.  Well, I don't really need that when I'm inside on the TM anyway.  Thinking about it.  Maybe I should look at Craigslist!

Maybe you should look at craigslist! You never know!

I'm interested in finding out more about this running technique. Interesting. I'll look it up. I wonder if you'll feel sore or different tomorrow. 7 minute miles mean I'll take advice from her!

I also don't like running in the dark. I'm so afraid I'll trip. On a skunk!!!

Soon you're gonna be sleeping in, running extra miles just for fun. Basically having the best time ever! Can you tell I'm totally jealous! It's going to be awesome!

I did look at Craigslist for Minneapolis area and found one but he wants too much for it. Might as well buy a new one as buy that. I'm thinking this morning I will just send it in for repair. $100 but I will spend that on a new one with the fewest options and since I already have a foot pod for this one and I know how it all works I might just as well send it in and get it fixed. Won't do it until after the Whistlestop though.

Well, now, that's something I notice too. Sometimes people try to get what they paid for their item. And those end up sitting on CL forever! As they should. That's not the point of buying used!
