Countdown to 2017 Dopey Challenge

The Quarter Pole

Today marks the 25th day of the streak.  This means I'm 25% of the way done.  So far, so good.

When you embark on a streak, you never know what will happen.  There are so many things that can derail your plans; Life, injury, motivation, weather, etc.   Luckily none of those have happened (knock on wood).

This past week, I added a new "tool" to my running arsenal... I purchased a Garmin 235 GPS watch.  Although I had an older Garmin, I wanted an upgrade.  After almost a week of using it, I'm extremely pleased.  The previous one that I had was used only while exercising.  It's size and battery life didn't work for everyday usage.  The 235 is on that I can wear all the time.  This tracks my whole day. The heart rate is done through the wrist, which eliminates the uncomfortable chest strap.  The built in pedometer allows me to track ALL my steps, not just the ones while my phone is in my pocket.  Of course it tracks my running the same as the old Garmin, but there is one feature that I really like... it tracks my sleep.  I don't get the best sleep at night, so having a "record" helps me to analyze my sleep patterns, and hopefully it'll help me to "fix" it.

Here's to health, and hopefully a better night's sleep.
