<p>Good morning, <strong>Kath</strong>.  It's not Summer for another 6 hours or so..  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Okay, I need a new Garmin.  Upon a quick look, I see a zillion different models currently available.  Can anyone quickly tell me the difference between the Forerunner 210, 410 and 610?  Is there any reason I should choose one over another?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ran 3 easy miles last night, and I'll probably do somethign similar tonight...</p>

<p>Okay.. so I was a complete bum yesterday.  I DID at least fight with the weed eater and address some yard stuff, but I just didn't have it in me for anything regarding running or strength training. I'm sure the reduction in calories has something to do with that, and I've got to figure out a good balance to jettison some tonnage, while still having the energy to exercise.  Hmph.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5M will be done this evening though.  No ifs, ands or buts about it!</p>

<p>Morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6 miles recovery last night probably a bit too fast</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I need new shoes - thank goodness I am seeing SW this weekend</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Track track track tonight - in the rain boo!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yippee to <strong>Goon</strong> to registering for MedCity FULL!!!  woot!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Bob</strong> - <strong>Baggs</strong> just got a 410 - he likes it.</p>

<p>I didn't get to do that half marathon on the weekend, the timing just wasn't right.  But I have been running more lately, so at least I'm back on that track (not an actual track...but you know what I mean).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was a run with Lena in the stroller.  Man, it's getting tough to run like that!  Ooof!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I need to pick a marathon training plan and stick to it.  November will be here before I know it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know the difference between all the Garmins, but I do like mine a lot.  Only thing I wish is that it was smaller and more comfortable on my arm.</p>

<p>I may have missed this somewhere along the way, but how is Noni doing these days?</p>

<p>Hi all - well, yesterday's run just didn't happen.  Between some food prep experimentation (using a garlic press as an erstwhile candy maker), family visits, hot weather, and late night conversations, no dice on the running.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No guarantees after work - entertaining a friend from out of town, so we'll see</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>boB -</strong> from my quick read, it seems they're somewhat just slightly tweaked versions of what's already out there for Garmin.  Try this forum for more info:</p>

<p><strong>Garmin 410 vs 610 vs. 210: </strong> The 610 is an upgrade, so to speak, to the 410.  It's a bit smaller, it can show 4 "screens" at once on the face (as opposed to the 410 only being able to show 3), it's got higher-tech GPS stuff to it (I know, I'm not being very technical.  sorry), and it's probably a bit more expensive (I forget the exact pricing).  Its cool new feature is that it's got touch screen maneuvering, while the 410 still uses the bezel (although the bezel on the 410 has greatly improved over the 405).  All in all, the 610 is, like I said, basically an upgrade to the 410 in the sizing, screens, and GPS. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The 210, by comparison, is like a suped-up stopwatch.  (Not really, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that someone with a 305/405/310/410 might be used to).  The thing about the 210 is it has been constructed to be able to be used indoors or out with relative ease.  Pop the footpod in and it'll transmit your indoor running data easily.  It's less expensive than the 410/610. </p>
<p> </p>

<p>I've had a good few days of workouts:  Sunday was a 12.5 miler over the bridges at the shore and then a 1 mile cooldown jog with my nephew.  Yesterday was a 1hr45min bike ride.  Today was a 7 mile tempo run, and I'm heading to the pool for a short workout in a few mins. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Summer break started today.  Couldn't come soon enough this year. </p>

<p>Morning all!   Ended up skipping yoga last night and got a massage instead.   It was pretty damn painful but seems to have done a world of good although I was feeling a little out of it on this morning's run.   Not sure if it was the massage, not eating enough last night or just being warm.   At any rate, got 7 miles in w/6x strides.   May get out for another shorty this evening.<br>

I see her post periodically on FB but am not sure if she's still living in NJ or back to NY.</p>

<p>This morning's planned workout was preempted by working all night.   DD is signed up for a kids fit and fun thing tonight at the gym, so I will workout while she's there.  J and her son will be there too. </p>

<p>Thanks for the Garmin info, guys!  I guess I'll be buying either a 410 or 610.  I just gotta figure out if those few extra bells and whistles are worth a little extra dough...</p>
