Notice Anything Different?

My blog has a fancy new feature! If you look over to the right side, below my profile, you'll notice two new headings. 1)My Recent Workouts and 2)My Distance Totals.

Several months ago when I first got the Garmin, my super cool cousin Brian emailed me and suggested that instead of using the software that came with the Garmin (called Garmin Connect), that there was a great website called RunningAHEAD that he uses. He said it is more user-friendly. I FINALLY got around to converting to using it this week. I LOVE IT for so many reasons:
  1. I can link it to my blog, hence the fancy new headings described above. It automatically updates each time I log a new workout listing my 3 most recent workouts and also my mileage totals.
  2. I can change the settings so it doesn't display my run route. This has been why I haven't been posting all my Garmin data. Because it showed a map of my route, I (okay Kevin :) but I totally agree) didn't feel it was safe to have a map that started at my house each day. That's why I was only posting the link for my canal runs.
  3. It has awesome fields for data entry about weather conditions and comments about your run for the day.

So go ahead, try it out. You can click on each of my last 3 workouts (the green "Run x.xx mi"), and it takes you to the RunningAHEAD website for more detailed information about my stats and cool graphs of my pace and heart rate. Enjoy!
