I got a new tool...a Virtual Partner

After many long runs by myself, and a couple hint to my dear hubby... guess what showed up on mother's day... A Garmin Forerunner 405. Yes, it has so many features I don't know where to start, but the one thing that shows up first is my virtual partner. I'm out running yesterday for a trial jog and right away I'm told I'm 0.15m behind VP! That got me going (slightly competetive!) so then I hit it...gotta say, nothing like a little VP for some competition. I haven't figured out many of the other features ... but I'm going to! but I do now that I have to kick some VP butt and if I do that I'll hit a personal best at the Bluenose 1/2 marathon http://www.bluenosemarathon.com/EN/raceinfo/5-race.cfm this weekend!

Watch out VP!
