AM-  I got my Garmin 205 yesterday.  I ordered it on Monday and it got here on Thursday, not bad for only $2 of shipping.  I wasn't going to go out this morning but I had to try out my new toy.  I still don't really know what I am doing with it because what I know is just from messing around for a few minutes, I haven't read the instructions yet.  It is fun to play with though.

I went out for 5 miles via canal trail over to Willard canyon and back.  I spent most of my run just screwing around with my Garmin.  It was late morning so it was getting hot, and I was getting alot of sweat in my eyes.  My foot wasn't as tender today, so I was glad for that. 37:55 for the run.

Now I'm going to call you a GPS slave, too. And if I have to listen to 4 Garmins beep every 1/4 mile tomorrow, all 1 second apart, I'm going to leave you guys in my dust.

So much hostility...so unwarranted.

Jon gave me his address. I will see you tomorrow. Sorry about the mix-up again.

What did you do to your foot?

From Jon on Fri, Aug 17, 2007 at 17:03:48

Venting, not hostility. Unwarranted... perhaps.

We will just call Jon, the anti-garmin. That is his mission in life. To rid the earth of the evil gps devices.

Hey James...I was wondering if anyone caught the thing I said in my personals or not. Sasha is the type to make champions out of chumps. (not that I'm a champion yet) Anyway...he's a great guy. I really appreciate all he's done for me.

Ya, I know Pat and Kent real good they run the sme route as I do but we don't run much together, we break at the same point alot so we will stop and chat... They are great guy's, and are always willing to give advice when you need it, good runners too.. Great job to on your run.
