I got a Garmin!! Woot!!


The wife Santa got me a Garmin!! I felt like a little kid. I had to go out and try it!

I was surprised at how easy the setup was. I mean I was ready to go within minutes. Today was day 2 of using it. The first day I was all over it. Started it up and kept looking at my pace through out my run It was awesome! In today's run, I forgot to stop it off after my run... Doh! It recorded like 2-3 minutes of me walking and doing stretches before I remembered about it. LOL... I'll have to get used to this.

This is cool. I can finally start tracking all my runs. I'm wicked excited!

What did Santa bring you guys??

You're going to love having a Garmin. I've gotten to the point where if I don't have it on it doesn't feel like I've really run. And if you're into stats - you'll be in geek heaven.

You will absolutely love your Garmin. I don't know how I ever lived without one now.

So cool man ... I couldn't live without mine! Hope you enjoy analyzing all the stats. Make sure you download your data on garminconnect.com - it's pretty awesome. If you have any questions or need pointers let me know - I'm kind of a Garmin geek. One hint that not a lot of people know is when the "low battery" message comes on the screen durning a run, it will tell you to "push enter" If you push enter at this point, all data will stop recording. DON'T PUSH ENTER! At the "low battery" message, you will still have 30min - 1 hour left of time on the current charge. Hope that made sense! Have a good one and enjoy the garmin!!!
