    @PastorVincent and @kevaasen thanks guys. I'm doing a bit of looking around at the moment. looking at our local version of Ebay, there are a couple of Garmin Forerunner 220s, but ill do an actual look and research.

    I have the garmin vivoactive 3 and really like it.

    Oh what a fun run this morning...super humid (72F dew point), so my top was already completely wet within the first few miles. It was around mile six though that I felt my nipples starting to hurt, and suddenly realized I hadn't put any NipEaze on...oops. :open_mouth: Off comes the top to prevent any further chafing, and I then made my way back to the office gym to grab some Band Aids from the first aid cabinet.

    No first aid cabinet...what the heck, they have them throughout the offices, but not in the gym where you would think people are more likely to actually need one? I did see a roll of masking tape on a shelf though. Top tip: masking tape has at least one more usage scenario than I would have previously considered. :smile:

    After that, I went back out and met up with the group around mile nine, and ran the usual five-miler with them before heading back to the gym to shower and scream.

    Tomorrow, I highly doubt I'll forget the NipEaze.

    02 - 5.40
    03 - 18.09
    04 - 14.15

    Total: 37.64 / 300 miles

    HAH!

    Strange it was -2C this morning, I had frost on the windshield of my truck, roof of my garage and I was sure my garden would be done. Only the cucumbers and some of the Roma Tomatoes leaves are frozen, every else is fine.
    Cherry & Beef Steak Tomatoes, potatoes, beets, carrots, peas, onions and garlic are all fine.[/quote]

    Where is this cold weather?
    How I wish it were here
    Hope your veg don’t die.

    Plan for tonight was 5-7 km easy. I was almost cold when I set out a couple hours after supper as it was about 14C and I was in a tank top but I warmed up pretty quickly. Took a while for my legs to warm up but that's pretty normal for me after 2 rest days in a row.

    I've been gone for 4 days - not even going to try to catch up with all the posts - yikes!

    Walked Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day - it was 5ish miles in all so I'll log 4 of them since it was walking, not running. We had spectacular weather despite a forecast of all-day rain. Very overcast though so were robbed of a sunrise. For those not familiar - Mac Bridge connects upper and lower Michigan - it's really beautiful and about 4 miles across. One photo is my own, the other is not. The Labor Day Bridge Walk has been a Michigan tradition since 1957(?) or thereabouts. I read that around 25,000 people walked it this year - but I know there have been years when it's been as high as 50,000. However - what I did not know - is that this year they allowed 700 RUNNERS to start 20 minutes prior to the walkers. So of COURSE I will be back for that! Which made my husband groan since he was my transportation/ferry and isn't interested in doing that again.

    So fun! We've driven over the bridge a few times now heading from Minnesota to Southern Ontario. Such a beautiful part of the country! I love that area but only come during the off season - I can't imagine how busy it can get there!!
