I run marathons on margaritas

by SkinnyRunner on January 21, 2012

This afternoon I wanted to try out my new Garmin 405 so we took the little 4 legged monster on a walk.

My hand looks like it’s sick and has brown spots.  awesome.

This evening we partook in a fantastic pre-marathon meal: margaritas and Mexican food at On the Border.

Lots of chips, lots of food and a couple (skinny for me) margaritas.

And lots of good conversation with our friends Katie and Merrick.  Love that we can have serious discussions about faith and religion and absolutely stupid ones too about Forrest Gump.

Love this dude.  I’m pretty sure he’s crazy and psychotic at least 75% of the time, but I hardcore dig him.

I have the 410 and I have trouble using the (oh I forget what it is called) the ring around the display

Have you had any problem with it?

Good luck with the marathon! I can’t imagine having margaritas the night before a big run, but I’m not a rock star runner like you! ;)

Hope you’re crushing the marathon right now!!

I got a Garmin 410 for Christmas and haven’t been able to get it to work, once. That dang bezel thing never does what I want it to do, I often can’t get to the screen I want and can’t figure out how to re-set workouts. Anyone out there have any advice for me?!? It’s literally driving me insane.

I also have the Garmin 405 and love it!
My dad got it for me last year when he realized that I loved running and that I could probably make good use of a GPS watch. Best gift ever :)

Love the 405! I was just about to step out with it for a run and found the battery almost dead. Guess I have to look @ blogs till it’s charged!
