How far have I gone? Now I know.

This weekend, I picked up a Garmin 210 GPS-enabled watch that measures time, pace, distance, heart rate, calories, and elevation. It is going to be a big boost to my marathon training. I used it for the first time today and was amazed at its capabilities. Since the GPS is so specific, it measures distance to the T. I also like being able to glace down and see my pace.

After my run, I plugged in the watch to the computer, and it downloads all the stats from your run. I can look at a map of my run and tell exactly when I started to slow down or when my heart rate started to accelerate. I feel like a real runner now that I have this fancy toy.



Me and my fancy watch.
