Got my new 305 tonight, and wasted no time. I strapped it on and sprung out the door.
I have been running a known path that used to take me about 30 minutes. However I had no idea how long it was.
I was super surprised to learn it was almost exactly 3 miles. I was pretty happy to learn that.
Anyway, I am also super glad to have a Garmin watch again too!

I missed my run yesterday due to a visit from my aunt to see the baby. After she left I was so tired and unmotivated I just caved in and called it a day.
The plan today was to hit the barracks and make up for it. However I ended up getting very little sleep last night and was pretty miserable this morning.
I decided to hit a 4 miler in the nearly mid day heat anyway. Wowee was it a brutal one. I did manage to finish, though I am sure it was a slow one.
I ordered a Garmin last week, and expect to get it this week. Hopefully this 4 miler was a stepping stone in the right direction. I want to get out there with the new watch.
Another 30 minute (ish) run.
Sleep deprivation and humidity made it difficult. But I am glad I did it.
Another easy 30 minute (ish) run.
I did see this morning on a walk that the barracks is open again (getting in and out of there for a bit was difficult) so maybe this week I can hit up a 4 miler there.
I think I will order the 305 sooner rather than later. I am getting the itch to go long.
Ran 30 minutes (ish) this morning. It was hot but it was nice to get out.
I took about a week off when Blake was born, so this was the first run since last weekend.
In the couple of weeks leading up to Blake arriving, I had been running the same route over and over using a regular watch and so I know about how far to go for a 30 minute run. Sometime in the week before he was born, I lost my watch, so now I am just running the same route.
I am planning to pick a new 305 soon, and try to get a little more variety in the runs, but for the time being since I am pressed for time and energy, running this route 3 times a week should suffice to keep me in shape.
My son, Blake David Powell, was born at 11:50 am on June 8th 2010. Which also happened to be my 38th birthday.
He was 19.75 inches, and weighed 7 pounds 3.5 ounces.
He had a full head of blond hair.
Shelly and he are doing great, and I can’t wait to bring them home tomorrow.
