Heart Rate Monitor for the Garmin Forerunner 305
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007Today must be the day for parcel deliveries - the UPS man just showed up with a replacement heart rate monitor for my Garmin Forerunner 305.

Canon PowerShot SD750
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007Just received the new camera I ordered last week.

Elizabeth River Run 10k: short race report
Sunday, May 27th, 2007Didn’t know what to expect from this race. It was my first one for about a month, a month where there were 2 weeks of no running and 2 weeks of easy running. I’ve said it before but it’s amazing how long it takes to build a fitness base, but equally amazing how fast you […]
