Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 54 Days to go

Yesterday Best Buy had the Garmin 305 watch on sale for $129 and I picked one up. This morning I went for a run with it on. It's pretty neat to see the data. For those who don't know, the Garmin 305 is a watch with GPS and heartrate monitor. So, the watch figures out my pace per mile, tracks my exact distance and course, and keeps up with my heart rate. I can look at the course and see what rate my heart got to on the hills and I can see different splits for speed. My slowest mile was about 12:30 and my fastest was 10:30. Now if I can only get all 10:30's I'll be doing great! I did 4.1 miles and was really pleased.

This afternoon, I went down to the pool with the kids. I did 1000M. It wasn't a great time but I am coming back off the week of vacation. The boys did 100M each in preparation for their upcoming triathlon.

I've eaten well today and am in a push to drop some weight before the race. Every pound that I lose is one I don't have to carry for 70.2 miles. Overall a great day!
