What I didn't realize at first is that there will be at least a 20 degree difference. My run today was in 30 degree weather, tomorrow is supposed to be 50 degrees (perhaps I'll steal a run in tomorrow too...we'll see how things are going).
Although the weather was on the cold side, I was really looking forward to this run. It was the first with the Garmin Forerunner 305!
I did my neighborhood lake route - 3.24 miles when I mapped it out previously...Garmin says 3.18 miles. I guess I'll be running into this pretty often.
The thing I liked best about the Garmin was that it gives your splits as you hit each mile. I happened to look at the watch at all three splits - 11:07, 11:00 and 10:58. Pretty consistent. Average HR was 155 bpm. Not a bad run for a first time back.
I'm definitely looking forward to more runs with my Garmin!

Isn't it such a fun tool! I have had mine for over a year and still have not used the HRM, but I really should. I love my Garmin...named it "Big Red."
:D
Hi Mike,
I know you enjoy reading other running blogs, I thought you might enjoy this one: http://danerunsalot.blogspot.com/
This guy was signing books at the expo I went to today. A friend bought the book for me as a bday gift, I'll let you know if I like it. He ran 52 marathons, one per wk, in a single year -- and he's really fast. I read his blog entry for the race I ran last weekend I really liked it so wanted to share.
Talk to you soon.
