Love my Garmon 405

Wow what a great device.  I love the information this thing gives me…even maps how cool.  I used it for the first time to measure the middle school cross country course.  I can’t wait to take it out on a real run.   Although I am not sure if I needed to know my heartrate sky rocketed to 180 during my first mile.  This ultra runner is soft and out of shape, but the knee holds for another day!  I am beginning to allow myself to believe I can start training again.

More fun with the kids

ran around to each kid on the team while they did a moderately hard hill workout.  I have not had any pain in my knee with these simple jogging moments with the team.  I am however still very afraid to test me knee for real.  With confidence I am gaining being out with the kids, maybe I will attempt to put together a few miles in the morning.  I wil also openly admit that I was pretty winded after the short run, amazing what 6 weeks of sideline will do to you VOMax.

Well that was sure easy, turning 40 was perfectly uneventful.  I have postponed or hopefully permanently cancelled surgery.  I have not run a step since pulling out of the 50 mile trail championships almost 6 weeks ago.  I will test me my knee later this week, although I am scared to see what will happen. 

My wonderful husband bought the Garmin 405 for my birthday, I can’t wait to test ot out!
