I have loads of interesting things to blog about but not a spare minute in which to record these gems of thoughts. (That's not sarcasm. I actually do have some interesting things to blog about. I'll spare you any sort of tease, but you'll see. Just wait.) Also, I'm exhausted. Completely and totally exhausted. Still.
In the meantime, I'm sure you all heard about this little "event" yesterday called Cyber Monday. (Is it really an "event" if it's just basically a bunch of stuff on sale online? Huh.)
Amongst other things, the Garmin 405 was on sale.
And, funny that, this sale comes up just as my Garmin 305 has decided that it no longer supports my marathon habit - the battery most recently died at around 4 hours. I could get faster... or I could buy a new watch.
I didn't buy it. I think I'm going to try this radical thing where I "don't wear a watch" this winter. You know, sort of like I did for the first 7 or 8 years that I ran? It's retro. But I think it will be okay: I know how far my routes are. I know how to look them up later to map them if I'm not sure. I know how to enjoy a run without feeling saddled by my wrist-computer. And I know how to use a normal Timex for those days when I am curious about time.

PLEASE buy that neck water bottle carrier. And wear it like a headband. Oh, please.
ReplyDeleteOh but I love the charts! And the totals!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Swih Karl and I had a good laugh looking at the video a while back. I can't believe that thing is a real product!!
Oh, just wait, ladies... just wait. It's a real product.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need it. The only time I wear a watch anymore is during races, and even then it's just a tool to ensure I eat and drink on schedule.
