30 minutes....

Well this has been my theme to kick off my 2011 running.  I have to do 30 minutes or 3 miles.... and I (drum roll) DID COMPLETE running 3x this week.  Hell and Chicago have now both frozen over.  One thing I don't mention in my vlog below is the other source of Motivation I have found is a fun little read.  It is called Run Like a Mother, I love the book.  It is great to see two moms balance running and the constant battle in their mind and priorities.  It also has some amazing quotes that I have used more than once to get me moving.  My all time favorite is "...the irony of running is that when your body and spirit need it most, your mind wants to do it least..."  AMEN!  

I did do a vlog last week and never posted the darn thing so I am a little longer here and catching you up on my week and happenings.  Really happy with my work and was also consistent with stretching.  I have not made it to Hot Yoga though in awhile so I need to get there and start pretending about my vacation to come away from the Chicago snow.  

This month is the birthday of my sports bras.... I went and bought the first replacement at Dick's Sporting Goods this weekend.  I didn't think I needed them until I put this new one on... WHOA!  Do you guys switch yours out?  Or is this just another thing companies do to get you to buy stuff more often? :)  I seem to do the same with running shoes.

Well I gotta run and do some work.  Kettlebells are on the agenda for today and I need some coffee and music to get me ready to kick some butt!

Cheers!

Hi Amy, For what it may be worth I am a fan of the Garmin Forerunner 405CX. The bezel contains controls which work much like the controls on an iPod do - you tap or hold them to scroll through menus. It has all the features most of us want in a GPS watch - the 'auto pause' being my favorite. Good luck.

I have the Garmin Forerunner 110 with HRM. It is super easy to use and accurate.

Thanks for the suggestions! I am going to check them both out at the local running store. He has a demo of the 110.
Happy training!
