Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?) (Page 47)

Good morning, all. I finally finished Daniels' book, so I am going to run over to that thread and see if I can figure out what I didn't understand. LOL I am starting his second level (red? or blue?), the level above white. I'll do that for eight weeks, (assuming I don't come down with another strange ailment -- I pulled a muscle in my upper abdomen this weekend coughing. ouch!) then move into marathon training.

Speaking of . . . My step-daughter is getting married on the day of the trail marathon I signed up for. :-( I'll go to the wedding, of course, if I can get the time off from work, but I'm still disappointed. I need to find another marathon for the middle of April to the first of May. I prefer trail or dirt road.

We are going to see my mom for Christmas, so if Salty is still around here somewhere . . . I see a meet-up in our future. Someone else is up in that area, but I can't remember who right now. Kristen? It's the final week of classes here, and my brain is fried. I'd love to find a New Year's run to do in that area while I'm there.

Jayson's (7 year old) Christmas program is tonight. He is a penguin.

I have 3 up, but that's the limit of my watch (Garmin 210). Pace and distance are always there. I spend more time with HR as the third, but also check time elapsed as well. When I had a 310 before I had all 4 of these on one screen. A second screen swapped in current lap time & distance for overall on the 1st screen.

Haven't used a foot pod and haven't felt much need to.

Tights: Whatever's cheap

Watch: IF I have to wear one, whatever's cheap with a stopwatch function

(see a trend?   I'm not a good person to ask I guess.

Felicia, Washington is pretty great. I'll give you a list of must-see/do if you wish. Perhaps a New Year's day run is in store? Kirsten, you in? Do they have a New Year in Canada?

there are some pics i can post - but a lot i can't. It was a blast - can't wait for the next one.

Thanks Hands and Ben!

I currently use four fields (HR, average pace, total distance, total time).  I have time of day on the second screen.  I'm trying to figure out if I live with three fields. My current watch bruises my wrist on long runs so I am looking for something that will do well on smaller wrists.

Another question for the Manatees, for those of you with running watches, how many fields do you have displayed on your main screen?  What fields do you find most useful?

As an aside for Monica, have you tried a foot pod (since you have satellite interference due to the buildings)?

I have 4 fields displayed: time of day, current pace, distance and total time. Probably the most useful are pace and distance, but I must have time of day too b/c I hate not knowing what time it is! I know that's a bit weird, but there you go. The least useful, then, is total time.

I have very small wrists too and when I had the 205 had to wear my everyday timex watch with the 205 to stop it from bruising up my hand. I don't have that same issue with either the 310 or 910 as their entire band has slots, so I can cinch the watch as tightly as I want. What type of watch do you have? I know you've posted it before, but I'm too lazy to scroll back

The 310 has been beating me up.

I think that it's small + between sizes.  One set of holes is a bit larger and the next is too tight (cannot bend wrist).

That surprises me! Man, I thought my 5" wrists was small, you must be really tiny!

Yeah, but it's a couple weeks earlier than yours .  I could go for a run on Jan 1st though. 

As requested, my darling star, on tip toes, wearing my 2XU compression socks, no less.
