Overall
Happily took hubby, Josh, and doggie, Calen, out for a run in the sticks while we were staying with my in-laws. It was a wanderloo adventure, meaning I got to play with my Garmin Forerunner 201 for the third time. This time, it was a “let's run this way until it reads 2.0 miles and then we'll head back.” How sweet is that? I LOVE that new runner's toy. It's the BEST THING I've ever had, with the exception of my HRM. It really is. I now have unlimited freedom to “wander off” during my runs and not worry about getting too far out or not knowing my stats. No more biking or driving to discern distances. Just me, my GPS, and the open earth. I couldn't be happier … yet I was! I had my honey with me and it's been the greatest thing in months! We went jogging together, the doggie came along and it was like we were one big happy family again; I really liked having the company. I can't hardly wait until we're all back together in VA. Soon, soon!
