I have decided that I'd like to take running a little more seriously and I noticed a lot of the "real" runners use Garmin watches..what are they used for?

All Garmins (other than the Forerunner 50) incorporate GPS (global positioning).

This allows them to track your running as accurately as possible, and far more accurately than something like a pedometer or the Nike Plus system.

I just recently bought a Garmin fr60 watch. I dont know how to tell if if the watch measures my distance? What does "mi" mean on the watch? Also when i change the modes the "mi" is constantly different. Please help

If you don't have a foot pot, then the FR60 will not measure distance.

So far, it appears that Garmin's campaign has two components: an email containing an image that reads, " Reimagined. Redesigned. Ready to move you. 08.24.2011 ", and a video that the company has posted only to its Facebook page. Unfortunately, the folks at Garmin don't seem to understand that Facebook videos can't be shared outside of Facebook, and the company hasn't yet bothered to upload the clip to any of its half-dozen YouTube pages, so if you want to watch it, you'll have to click through .

For those not feeling that adventurous, the video is called " Paper Work ", and it features a humdrum-looking laser printer cranking out bland sheets of directions, while a voiceover actress with a Midwestern twang

Eric, David, Rachel, Brent and I (Lyndsey) last year, ran the 1 August 2010, a total of 2.5 marathon [the sum of the total distance of this year, Eric, David Taylor and his squeeze 2 marathon [total combined distance]. This is a lot of miles.

Let's start off Friday night to the RNR intellectual epic weekend. After work, I headed McCormick Place in the World Expo - I think it is well organized, I get a free stuff (I love) t!Eric and Boosh think my way home bar in Montrose, in order to meet them, so I was doing. But ... ... ... on my way, I was hit by a car! I have my little bike lanes, 4 this morning in Pontiac large open boxes of gray color. What a jerk! Fortunately, I have a couple bruises and I was the only hand bend. Yo.

You can read all my posts on Thinking Slimmer here .

This was my 14th week listening to the Slimpod.

I haven’t got much to say this week. It’s the wrong time of the month for any weight loss if you get my drift so let’s focus on the running and the clothes.

Firstly I can no longer wear size 18 trousers. They are just too big. So most definitely a 16 now and looking forward to my first size 14’s fitting.

I threw 10 bra’s away yesterday because they are way too big. I am now a 36DD and still shrinking.

I am also too small for a number of my T-shirts which is a bit sad really as there are some I really like. I need to have a good clearout of my wardrobe. I have clothes of all sizes in there and I have found a number of pairs of black trousers for work that now fit. Which is useful.

The nice thing is knowing that I won’t need those clothes again. As I am not on a diet the weight loss is permanent.
