Broke out the Garmin my brother-in-law gave me for the first time tonight. Kinda cool, will take some getting used to. Did 10.01 miles in 1:13:07 (7:18s). Did the first 5 progressive from base through to almost tempo pace. Its been a while and the last mile was starting to kick my butt. Splits were as follows: 7:41, 7:15, 6:57, 6:41, 6:37 (took 2 minute break) and then set off on another 5 at base pace: 7:43, 7:22, 7:30, 7:50, 7:25. This course was fairly hilly and a few sections really did me in for a short span. Good workout.

Asics Cumulus #2 Miles: 10.01

What model Garmin did you get?

205

My wife gave me a 205 for Christmas, too. Pretty nice, though bulky. But better than a 405.

Ugh, I left my Garmin on overnight and it crashed 3 miles in yesterday! Can you tell me what features you generally use Jon? I didn't get a manual with mine, just the garmin, the chords, and the disk.

I haven't really got into the advanced features. My main screen shows total time, distance, and current pace. And I have it auto-lap each mile (unless I'm doing some speedwork).
