Saturday 5 mile run

Today, Sara and I ran 5 miles. It's been a long time since I have done that distance, but felt pretty good through most of it. Here's a link to the stats and map of the run:

West Creek 5 mile run

I captured the data on my new fitness GPS / watch. It's a Garmin Forerunner 205 -- a very cool birthday gift! My family gave that to me last night, after a visit to my new favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Thursday was my actual birthday, but it was very busy for a number of reasons. KT played in All County Orchestra that day, and the concert was that night. After a long day at the office, it was just time to go to bed after getting home late.

The Forerunner 205 has a built in GPS receiver, so the link above gives you date, time, distance, pace, elevation, and a map of the run from start to finish. The unit probably gives you a whole lot more, but I am mostly looking to capture data on where and how fast I am training over a long period of time.

Here's a photo of the 205...
