My new gift

This year our taxes gave us quite a refund. When money is not planned for, it sometimes feels like free money. Aaron had the brilliant idea of each of us picking a gift for ourselves and saving the rest. I've had my eye on this GPS watch for a while, So, I bought this great watch, the Garmin Forerunner 405CX. When the watch came, the weather was cold, but today was the first nice day, so I took advantage.

I ran on the Indian Creek Trail and it was great. The watch is truly amazing, and I had a good run. You can see all of my data in the tab to the right (sorry that it doesn't fit properly). I'm pretty happy about the under 10 minute 4th mile. The only thing that has me a little concerned is my heart rate. It stayed pretty high the whole time. I started at a heart rate of 73, and in 45 seconds I was at 160. That was the lowest all run. It seems a little confusing because I felt good and in the beginning I would have been able to hold a conversation. I'm not sure why this happens, but I'll keep monitoring it to see if it improves.

So, check out my run to the right.
