Birthday gadgets are nice!

Well, I realized I hadn't updated since receiving the coolest gadget ever!  Drum roll please....

Meet.....My Forerunner® 110 of course purchased from Steve and Genevie's shop.  http://www.fairhavenrunners.com/

So, if you do some simple math you'll see I am slower than I thought.  Argh the curse of technology.  I felt like I was running a 9 minute mile, looked at the gadget and realized I was closer to 10!  Picking up the pace really didn't hurt that much and I ended up running at around 9:30 for most of the run.  There's 2 sets of stairs, one with over 100 steps in it for this loop so I'll give myself a break.  Overall, it's great to have the instant feedback!  Definitely the best gadget ever.
