An Actual Outside Run!

Posted on January 30, 2012 at 8:17 pm, by Kelsey

BELIEVE IT. I went outside and ran.  No it wasn’t 70 degrees (the only weather I run outside in) but a nice 50 degrees.  The second I left work and walked outside I knew I would be outside running.  Did I mention today was a cross-train/no running day?  Listen, I had to it was nice outside, in January, in Chicago.

I only ran an easy two miles because I have big plans to go to Fleet Feet’s chick night tomorrow with Keren and gingerfoxx.  Did I also mention that Tuesday is a complete rest day? If it’s just as nice tomorrow, I’ll switch my running schedule around so I can go run with some ladies opposed to by myself!  They will probably send me off on a separate running route if I actually go.  Would you consciously choose to run with me?  Thought so.

You know what else was awesome about today? I got to finally try out my Garmin! I felt so cool checking it during my run, I basically stared at it nonstop.

The good news is it works.  The bad news is, I don’t really understand how to use it.  I’ll figure it out, maybe.  I took one more picture for you on my 20 minute run:

Seriously, how beautiful is Chicago?

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

    I must say I’m totally jealous of your Garmin…even though I hate running I want one.

    Yay for warm weather! I bet there were lots of people on the lakefront, taking advantage of the weather!

    There are a lot of cool videos online of things you can do with that watch! I have the 405 too.

    I’ve had mine a year and am just starting to get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve, but you’ll master it in no time! =)
