Today was my first day in a new position. I am still just an
intern but different office and different responsibilities. I am slowly
working my way closer to the job I want not just what I have to do to pay the
bills while in Grad School.

This switch adds about 25 minutes of bridge driving (see above) to my commute each way
which means morning runs happen in the dark. Not a big deal
since during the summer in Louisiana that is the most
comfortable time to run anyway.
Waiting in my mailbox when I got home was my new-to-me Garmin
Forerunner 310xt!

| Garmin Forerunner 310xt |
I had a Forerunner 305 for a few years until I lost it at a
post-race party a couple weekends ago. Since I have started doing heart rate training
I decided to upgrade to the 310XT in order to have vibrating alerts.
I have only used it once but I am already in love. The vibrating
alerts set to the heart rate zone worked well on the run. Running 11+ minute
mile pace is still painfully boring to me to but with the new watch I can start
to zone out since I don’t need to look at the watch every 5 seconds. (Audio
books on my mp3 player also help with the zoning out J)
Another neat feature of the
310XT is how it works with the Training Peaks Device Agent. This allows me to wirelessly
upload the data straight to Training Peaks. I can now leave the watch plugged
in near the front door so I won’t forget to grab it on my way out.
