I’ve been busily training for the Buffalo marathon, like I said. Of course there’s only a couple of online traces of it so far:
I spent most of the last 5 months eagerly awaiting for the release of the Garmin Forerunner 405, a new stopwatch/GPS/Heart Rate Monitor that was set to revolutionize my training. It finally arrived in late April, and it has– thanks to Beth and Nathaniel for convincing me it would be something that could help me out. Best part about it, it tells the internet what I’ve done & where. Like for instance, I ran a really brisk 5 miles today, my last tempo run before the race Sunday. Take a look at it in near limitless detail.
So, like I said, it felt great. The day had been rainy, but clouds opened up in the afternoon and gave me a chance to break out of my tapering slump. An intense yoga class later, and I’m feeling totally ready for the race (and also ready for bed). Just have to pick out some jams, and I’ll be ready to go. Our flight leaves early on Saturday.
So how did it go??? Enquiring minds want to know . . .
We are so proud of you! How was the ice bath? Nathaniel is coveting yoor Garmin and finish time. Talk to you soon.
