Broken!

This morning as I was rushing around to get ready for my run I went into the bathroom & grabbed my Garmin watch, which was charging on the counter.  As I turned I saw it slip out of my hand & land on the floor.  I new before I picked it up that the face of the watch had cracked.  Damn!  I had no choice but to leave it behind.  It was like leaving the house without my cell phone.

Now I'm not some big technology person, nor am I some great runner, but this watch has helped me immensely on my runs & I felt helpless.  I grabbed my old pink Timex & headed out.  The run was ok, but all I kept thinking about was would I be able to get the watch fixed.  Probably, as I am sure stuff like this happens all the time, but the big question is...will it be fixed in time for Alcatraz.  Only time will tell.

I ran 6.2 miles today.  I mapped my route out on this new website http://www.dailymile.com/  .  I found it, like I find all cool new web thingies, on my blogger friend Erika Jean's blog.  Sometimes I wonder what I would have done if Google hadn't listed her on blogs of note way back when.  She really posts some cool things.  Here's her blog, in case you want to check it out, & you should!   http://www.erikajean.com/

Tomorrow it is back to work & a bit over one month til Alcatraz.  I am hoping I am ready, as well as my watch!
