Workout for 3/2/11, 3/3/11

3/2/11 Wednesday

I did my intervals.  7X 800m @ 4 minutes each.  I ran them at the Middle School just before Anthony's band concert.  I showed up all sweaty and steamy (and smelly too)

Next week I have to upgrade to 8X intervals and keep bumping it up one more every two weeks until I get to a dozen.  This will improve my speed.

Oh boy!  I'm a level 2 now!  Feels like when I used to play WoW.

New GPS Unit for the car

We've had a Garmin Nuvi 650 in our car for about 4-5 years now.  The map is hopelessly outdated.  The GPS doesn't even know how to get across the railroad tracks on our street.  I priced how much to get new maps from Garmin and the price was $79.99

City Navigator® North America NT

Available Formats:

Download ($ 79.99 USD)

microSD™/SD™ card ($ 79.99 USD)

DVD ($ 79.99 USD)

 

Ouch!!  I couldn't believe that price because you can buy a new GPS unit for that price.  So I did just that.  I stopped by Costco on my lunch break today and I picked up a Magellan RoadMate 2036-MU for $79.99.  Pretty pathetic that it was a better deal to buy an entirely new unit than to upgrade the maps.

Lisa's Ring

Here's a closeup shot of Lisa's new wedding band. I bought her a new one because the diamond on her old one broke off and was lost. These pics are pretty high resolution.

Workout for 2/26/11 (16 mile run in Forest Park)

I went for a 16 mile run this morning in Forest Park. It was so cold that my water nozzle on my camel back froze over. Lucky I had a backup bottle of gatorade in my pack. My pace was a little slower than my goal but the trail was rather slippery so I had to make sure and keep a good footing.
