My NEW GARMIN!!!

Wrist model? Call me up Garmin.

What the Garmin Connect page looks like when you upload a run. The places where the pace goes to 36:00 is when I stopped at a red light and didn't know where the pause button was. 

I got my first ever Garmin this past weekend! I feel like I have entered a new level in running awesome-ness. I got the new Garmin Forerunner 10. It's their basic model and pretty much only tracks distance, speed, calories, and time-which is really great for me. A while ago my mom and I bought my dad the Garmin 310 and I thought it was really cool but too big for me and had too many features. Why spend $300 when I'm not going to use half the features? That's why the 10 is really great for me. It is pretty much the size of a regular watch, pink (my favorite color) and is very easy to use. I like being able to track the distance especially because I am trying to run some longer distances. It also lets you plug the watch into the computer and track your runs online. You make an account and then save your runs. You can save them, name them, and even see pictures of your course that you ran. It also saves prs. My first run with it went well. I forgot that you have to wait for the satellites 0_0. I thought it would take forever because I live in the city but turns out it took less than a minute, so that was really great. I ran 4.5 miles at a 9:30 pace. Pretty slow but I just wasn't feeling it. It's funny but ever since coming back from my accident, I sort of just run every run and don't get upset about my speed. It's sort of like, I got out there and ran so why be sad if I wasn't fast? I'm probably a little too chill about my running but whatever, I'm having a good time so who cares?
My run this morning actually went a lot better- I did my version of a tempo run and did 8:30s which was pretty good. I feel like I could go a little faster but my pace slowed a little after 4 miles making my average pace slow down. I was having one of those mornings where I woke up early in anticipation of my run. I feel kinda tired today, lol but I had good new tunes and since I couldn't run on Tuesday, I was dying to get out there.

These are my favorite pants of all time, The Lululemon runner unders. They are kind of pricey but are SO soft and very flattering. I usually do not wear leggings but I have actually been wearing these around as to/from, post workout pants. I confess I have not worked out in them because I always want to wear them as pants. I'm thinking of getting them in black so I can have a pair to run in and a pair to wear around. That way, when one is in the laundry, I still have another pair. Running is an addiction but buying running gear is also an addiction. Sigh, my christmas wish list is mainly gear and comfy clothes to wear after my workouts.
Is anyone doing a Turkey Trot tomorrow? I am definitely running and hopefully a Turkey Trot but idk my mom wants to do one Friday but hello, Black Friday?!?!?! I NEED to get to Target, lol. It's not even that I want anything I just think it's funny to go. Also I can fuel my other addiction, watching tv by buying DVDs on sale. Last year I got all the Friends seasons for $10 each. score!
Well I have class until 6pm tonight and then I'm going home to bake pies for tomorrow!!! I'm so excited. Eating is one of my favorite things so you can bet that I'll be running and then gorging myself. :) Have a great Thanksgiving!!
