Another day, another trip through the golf course. We did end up back on the road after a while, but it did add some variety. As everyone knows, variety is the spice of life (apparently, that spice excludes Thai food, most illegal drugs, camping , Ménage à Trois and onions according to Honey). So, at least I am spicing up my running life.
I am very pleased with my new GPS watch. It connects to the GPS in a fraction of the time my old one could do it in. It probably takes less than 10 seconds. The mapping feature is more robust and you can save locations and even name them. Maybe my old GPS could do that, but I never figured out how. The HR monitor is lighter and softer to wear, but harder to put on (not that it is hard, just not as easy). It fits better on my wrist and overall it is more comfortable. You know the excess part of the watch band that you use that litter, uh, thingy to keep it from sticking up or flopping up and down? On my old watch, it would always slip off and the band would stick up and threaten to come loose. This new one locks down and does not wiggle loose. Yeah, sometimes it is the small things that help us enjoy life.
Here are our numbers:
Time: 25:00

Another banner day for Honey out on the links! She did stop and start a bit, but she soldiered on and ended up with one of her better times. I see a sub 11 min run in her near future! Go for it Honey! I think I'll make you do an interval workout again tomorrow. What do you think?
Honey?
HONEY?!?!
Run for Life!!
