I got it!!!  I got my Garmin 305 and my running will never be the same!  Too bad is was snowing like  crazy and we were running really slow - still an awesome run with my awesome new toy!

My left ankle has been swollen for the past few days and tender while I run.  I'm going to wait and see how it feels after another day or two.  The ice does help, but it may need a few rest days.

Woo hoo!!

Yeah for the new toy!!! They do make quite a bit of difference in your running, and they just make it more fun.

Take care of your ankle!!! Way to be out there running in the cold, though! I have completely wimped out this winter.

I am not doing any races until Painters at the end of January. I am assuming you are running this New Years race? I can not wait to hear about it!

Nice new toy! Have fun with it. It really does add a whole new dimension to running. I think its the thing I miss the most when I'm in the pool!

Take care with the ankle.

Yes, take it easy with that ankle. And congratulations on your Garmin.
