HICK-UPS

Tonight , I did hot & humid pick-ups so renamed Hick-ups. They weren't smooth by any means. They weren't exact distances. But they were faster sections of my run. I felt a difference in my form and stride. Dakota (my golden) wasn't exactly sure what we were doing but he hung in there.

Run: 4 miles = 1mi. w/u + 2 miles of pickups(11:00pace) + 1 mi c/d

Waddling to watch the Tour climb the mountains............

DISAPPOINTED

A couple of months ago, I was so excited by buying a Garmin 305. Being a geek- I was so excited by the technology and info that I could gain. Now I feel a bit let down.

• I bought the 305 instead of the 205 to get the heart rate monitor. The heart rate reading is so small that I can't see it without my glasses.
• In the last 2 duathlons , I had problems on the bike portion after the transition.
• There are time when running that I know the pace is incorrect. For example, I am running smooth and check my watch which reads and 18:00 pace?
• The distance is off almost .1 per mile.
• When doing the trail part of a run in the woods-I totally lost any data.
• I thought that I would prefer it over my RS200 by Polar but I don't .
• I have no patience for locating satellites.
• The interval for doing a run / walk is challenging to use.

I know there are alot of at advantages but for me I'm switching back to my Polar.

Run : 3.0 miles / ave pave 13:30

Waddling to pay some bills (ugh)......................
