Serious Measures, means getting a Garmin?

Well yesterday was very interesting... I had a couple of errands to run before heading to the gym... I am very picky on workout gear, it has to look good, function, and be reasonably priced and I was looking for some new tanks... So far I got a couple from Walmart, one out of three picks were good the others were returned... so I decided to stop in at Winners to see what they had. I got two really smart Nike tanks... black! While in there got chatting to a lovely gal who noticed my workout gear. We got to talking about where I had got my pull over from and our conversation turned into our interest and future adventures in running. I was so excited to have crossed paths with someone who shares the same passion. I wouldn't pass up meeting a new friend, as well as a possible running partner. Nothing beats chatting it up and learning from others.

During our little chat we exchanged info. and she mentioned she recieved a Garmin and told me about all the fabulous traking it does. Well, me and gadgets and anything that would help me improve my running, I'm in. After I got home, got no gym time in, I hopped on the Spin bike and spun out... also thinking about the Garmin... I have a Garmin Nuvi for my car and absolutely love it... so I started researching the Garmin Forerunner 305... There was nothing but good reviews. My curiousity further sparked when I was thinking I have to start tracking my heart rate and distance. Well this Garmin does that and much more. I noticed it was selling at Costco, so I thought I'll stop in ask if they still carry them, they do... not on Sale, bummer. It was $169.99. So I have some reading and charging to do!!!

Anyways... I have to get on my saddle and ride... if it's too cold to venture out, I don't rest as our spin bike is in our livingroom and you cannot miss it, and if you look long enough at it, the guilt you feel in not fitting in a ride gets to you. Before you know it, you are saddled up and riding!

I can't wait to get outside... Obviously I'll be out tomorrow with Garmin and my Ninja outfit if it's cold. Hopefully I'll meet up with my new friend and try a local track.
