My new Garmin :)

I saved up all my Christmas money (plus some from my "Steph account") and splurged on a Garmin Forerunner. It's AWESOME. A GPS plus heartrate monitor all in one. I'm madly in love. Here it is, along with my iPod (another running staple):

 And here's some of the data it gives me:

You can see not only the exact route I took, but also see my pace (slow, but in my defense I was running on snow) and how that pace varied throughout the entire workout! So you can see the two short walk breaks I took, plus the effect those walk breaks had on my heart rate!!

So cool, right?!?  It really makes me eager for spring so I can start doing all my runs outside again...
