I have a basic Garmin Forerunner 35 and it does great for all things running. It’s ugly though.

How was the half?

Good to know. All I do is run now. Maybe one day I’ll get into biking and swimming, but I just need something for running. The 35 is a much better price.

Half was okay. I tried a new route, and the route was great except for the traffic trying to cross Hwy 59...and since it was an out and back, I had to do it twice

Also, didn’t leave until 11 because one kid didn’t go to bed til 2 and the other woke up from 4-5 and again at 8. It was 79 deg with 79% humidity, and I was physically tired before the run even started. But all in all, it was a nice comfy run. Definitely wasn’t setting out for anything close to a PB, which was good, haha.

Alright I’m back in. I got fat and out of shape with weight lifting. Peaked at a little over 40 miles a week back in spring 2019 but I can barely run 2 miles now without having to walk.

I don’t want to stop strength training, so it’s going to be interesting to see if I can truly do both. I believe I can as evidenced by a separate post from the other day.

Goal is to start with 10 miles this week and bump up 2-3 miles each week. There’s a half marathon in October I’m eyeing, so plenty of time to do a slow build up.

2 miles this morning. 10:43/mile pace. Sucked but here we go.

I heavily researched running watches and the 35 was really good for the price. I got it refurbished for $79 or so on Amazon.
