garmin...i don't need no stinkin garmin

Well, I've been running and running. I get red and sweaty and I'm sure people are scared I'm going to fall over in the roads but I keep running. Some days are bad days and as the sun is beating me into a sweaty mass I struggle to keep moving...and some days are pleasant and I run somewhat easily. I have been working on running through my pains. My poor legs are still not fully back to their pre-op performance and they often feel like dead weights. I physically know I can keep moving as long as I can keep my legs going. It's just a little bit of a struggle.

I have been looking at garmin gps watches. I googled and amazoned and read reviews and stalked them on ebay. I ultimately decided that I don't need to spend that much money on a running toy, even though I really want it. So, I had to turn to plan B. I use streets and trips to outline my running route. Since I have the memory of a goldfish and am directionally challenged, I put it all on my palm pilot before leaving home.

It worked very well. I would have been completely on route except I made one wrong turn...quite sad but true.

And last night I ran in the rain. I felt so very hardcore. I ran fast and the little cold raindrops were welcomed.
