I am so upset right now because I cannot get the Garmin to automatically update to my computer.  I think Jordan erased some of the software I downloaded last weekend!  And now I cant find the manual because I am unorganized.  Ugh hope to get it figured out again...!!!!!! I need to know my splits!! Even though I was terribly slow tonight!!! It was a gorgeous night and warm!! Only wore tshirt and shorts it was great, but still very windy in these hills!  Makes for a good work out while going up hill.  Now off to a double header for softball! 

TT 58:00 exact.  Really actually very dissappointing, just makes me realize how far off of my goals I really am. I had to stop once while going up the hill because I was too tired!  

Thanks Nicole for telling me how to view splits on the garmin

That STINKS! I have 2 ideas: 1) when my Garmin was on the fritz, I downloaded the webupdater to it and it was fixed: http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3911. 2) Here is the manual: http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/Forerunner405CX_OwnersManual.pdf

What are these goals you speak of? Do tell!

You crazy! Look at your times, you rock! I never get times in the 8s! How was softball? Did you hit home runs?

From Rachael Winters on Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 12:25:34 from 76.115.87.4

You also never get times in the 11's!

Softball... we got rocked! 10 runned... :(

And while warming up a guy teammate hit a line drive in my inner thigh so now I have a HUGE bruise/welt thats so hurtful! I wanted to cry so bad!! I think this whole week I wouldve been better off to not get out of bed.

Yep, HORRIBLE run. At least you made it 6+! I could barely make it 4. My shins huuurrrtttt.

That SUCKS about softball! Did you at least drink beer and have a good time? :-) I need a picture of this bruise! I had a line drive to the shin once - the lump is like an orange.
