    @shanaber I guess it's what we are used to. With no wind and -3C, I would just wear leggings (not lined) and a tech tee with a light jacket. On the way out, with the wind at my back, I was actually a bit too warm and kept unzipping my jacket and took my gloves off!

    No run today, spent it doing paperwork. I need get my taxes together, which is pretty complex due to being an author and having several other small business interests (just trying to stay afloat!). Probably miss tomorrow too, which means I will be way over in my food for this week and way under in miles.

    Well, I guess fat and happy is a thing right? :lol:

    Thanks for the input on the watches everyone. It's been really helpful. I have never used a fitness tracker before, but I mentioned to my husband a little while ago that I might wan to get a Fitbit for tracking. Since then, I learned that the latest Garmin devices can also be used for this purpose. However, he ended up buying me a Fitbit for my birthday. I am likely going to send it back and get the updated Garmin, but I am still trying to decide between the two. I think that the Vivoactive will probably be sufficient for my needs, but I am used to the Forerunner platform and for that reason I am a bit hesitant to change.

    I have the Vivoactive HR and love it. I chose it because of the ability to track multiple disciplines (like riding horse, snowshoeing, etc) and because it was water proof. I've worn it daily for about 1.5 years now. I also own an older Garmin 310xt which I used for tracking my horse's heart rate while I condition (I wear both watches when I ride). I think you'd be pleased with the Garmin Vivoactive 3 - I'm debating about upgrading!

    Also I ordered batteries on Amazon for my HRM. For whatever reason they are taking forever to get here (seems they are coming by slow truck from Kentucky). I don't understand why they wouldn't have just slipped them in an envelope and mailed them.

    We received a notice at work that our mailroom will no longer ship packages containing lithium batteries even if they are in a device such as an iPad, computer, phone, etc. The explanation was:

    "Lithium batteries are considered Dangerous Goods in transportation and require special packaging, labeling, marking and training for those who prepare them for shipment. Lithium batteries present an increasing hazard in transportation, especially when shipped by plane. Thus, shipping regulations are more stringent, carriers are more diligent in inspections and fines are increasing for violations, especially when lithium batteries are not declared in the package. "

    Wow you aren't kidding about moving fast here!

    Rest day today for me. Maybe a little yoga later.

    Yesterday I got a good treadmill workout in before work (still too dark/cold for me to go outside that early!). I have been using the Aaptiv app and really liking it so far! Does anyone else use this and have tried their outdoor runs yet? Or maybe another app you guys like with good workouts?

    I’m postponing my run due to the winds... but it’s supposed to be windy until Sunday! I’m going to have to suck it up at some point.

    @juliet3455 I made the mistake of having a big giant glass of water 15 minutes before going out yesterday.

    ...the cold wasn't the only reason I had negative splits. Glad I wasn't quite as bundled up as Calvin!

    3/1-10 miles

    Miles: 10/150
    Yoga/stretch: 0/12
    Strength/P90X3: 0:6

    @PastorVincent - We had those winds yesterday. Well, no 80 mph, but sustained winds of 20-30 mph and gusts up to 50. It was kind of brutal. And it was raining...again. Of course, I ran out with a tail wind and had to endure the headwind on my 5 mile trek back. This weather is getting old. I will take freezing cold and snow over rain and wind any day.

    Today is a cross-training day. Of course the sun is shining brightly. I am planning to hit the gym after work for some strength training and maybe a swim, but it sure is pretty outside. Maybe my legs don't need the rest...

    Hey cool... you know, for the life of me I can not remember what the 4.8 is on your display. The 9348 is steps, but what is the 4.8? heh.

    @KatieJane83 and @PastorVincent A little late but the download site shows it as Battery %

    Thanks! but we were not talking about the battery %. I was referring to the one thing on that image that is NOT labeled. :) Which is 1.5 in that image. But we figured it out it is the STEPS converted to MILES. :)
