18 days and counting. That's all, only 18 more days. Well, my longest pre-marathon run is complete, and this weekend, I have a "tune-up" race. The Oleksak Half Marathon in Westfield, then it's all 3-6 mile runs until race day.
Saturday during my 20 miler, I had a problem with my Garmin GPS. The battery had almost run out. Now it's supposed to have a 6 hour battery life, but it was dying after a 3 1/2 hour run. "Great", I thought, "How the heck is this thing going to last 4 1/2 to 5 hrs in Boston?" Well, I talked it over with Brenda & we decided it's time for me to get a new one (just to be safe). After a little bit of research, I decided on the Garmin 310. This is basically what I already had, but with a heavy duty battery. Expected battery life is 20 hours. It's actually designed for Ironman training. A little more than what I need, but as Tim Allen always said... "More Power!!"
I'll try it out tomorrow on a 3-5 mile run, and I don't think there'll be a problem.
