Garmin 620 restart or save run technical ?
So in the middle of my long run today, my Garmin 620 stops (accidentally bumped it). So I get a save screen. I didn't want to lose my first part of my run so I didn't choose "discard". So I just clicked save and then immediately started a new run with the "start" button. If I had pressed restart instead, would the Garmin…

Eat & Run book
Have you read Scott Jurek's book Eat & Run? If so, what did you think of it? If not, I highly recommend it. Just finished it. Will write a book review of it for my blog. I wish I had read Born to Run at the same time as Eat & Run; I didn't realize they intersected so dramatically.

Who loves KALE?
Just wondering who loves KALE here? I've been trying to eat and/or drink it daily and it has helped fill me up faster and give me more energy. I'm actually going through kale withdrawal when we run out of it at home. :glasses:

What's the craziest workout you've done lately?
Yesterday, I ran a "marathon circuit": stacked 3 runs during the same day to equal marathon distance-actually 26.5 (20+ outside, 6+ on treadmill). Easier than running a continuous marathon (recovery breaks for water, rest, nutrition, etc.) but still that last 5K was tough even running downhill on a treadmill.
