Hey guys! So Blake bought me a new watch to run with and I've been dying to get outside an use it! It's a Garmin watch and it tracks your speed/distance as you run. It constantly updates as you're running so you know exactly how fast you're going. When I got home I was able to upload it to my computer and it gives me my stats. It was just an easy 3 mile run, but I can't wait to use it to pace myself on my longer runs! I just thought I would share what all the screen shows you. It also breaks down where on your route you went the slowest and fastest, and allows you to set goals. I'm not quite that advanced with it yet, but I was excited to get started. My true wish is that it will keep me within my goal times on those longer runs.

MB...I got a Garmin last summer before the chicago Marathon and I love it! It's so nice to be able to just leave from wherever I am and know exactly how far I ran, my pace, etc. without having to map it on a computer. I have never plugged it into my computer, though. How does that work? Hopefully I still have the software for it!
