Toys and Piña Coladas
I got a new toy, and all of the components are now here. I wanted a heart rate monitor for running, so I could use that as a way to keep track of progress instead of just with time. Of course, I can’t get something that just simply does heart rate because I’m me and I like toys. After a lot of reading and some advice from other beginning runners, I got a Garmin Forerunner 305. I got the footpod accessory for my indoor runs. It fits perfectly in my Nike+ slot. I gave it a little test run up the street just to see it work. It recorded my info, transferred it to my laptop, and provided me with some graphs of my short run, including showing where I was on a map. I’ll test the footpod and heart rate monitor tomorrow.
Then I came inside for a Piña Colada and basketball. My BIL’s sister came for a visit from Columbia and brought rum. Mac made virgin coladas for the kids. Ada said it was the most yummy drink ever.
