Up-ing my game!

As we get closer to finishing the Couch to 5K program...I decided the other day that it was time to up my game and start preparing for what comes next. I did some research on gps running watches. I want to be able to keep track of things as the Couch program comes to a close. All the reading I did on these watches convinced me that it would be a good idea to take the plunge...so I did! I got a Garmin Forerunner. Tested it out today. It came with a heart monitor as well. The data that this thing collects is sick! It uploads to a website that allows me to look over the data and think more about my running goals. It also allows me to share the data on both Twitter and Facebook...so I can get encouragement from my followers and friends.

About 7 years ago...I found the writer in me...this summer...I have found the runner in me and it feels great! Naming myself a runner makes me proud of what I'm becoming!
