My Run


Since I’m training for my half marathon, and because I apparently have to have technology in all parts of my life ;) , I recently purchased one of these bad boys:

Yeah, it’s a little extreme, but it’s also totally awesome!  This Garmin GPS watch tracks not only your distance, pace, calories burned, and other stuff I haven’t explored yet, but it also saves a record of where you ran.  Once I connect it to my computer, I can download the route that I took and the Garmin software shows me the route I ran, which I can then upload to a site like mapmyrun.com.  This site can show my route using a satellite view.  Pretty awesome if you ask me (and hey, I’m sure you were about to.)

This running stuff isn’t so bad after all.  Technology makes it fun!  Now I have to go play some video games.
