(My heart, that is!)

I love the chest strap! It's super comfortable and secure, and I think it's really neat to see how my running speed corresponds to my running pace. I also like being able to see how long I was in my target range (below). The circles represent miles—except the last one which just represents my end-distance!



It's something to get excited over, even though Simon and Garfunkel have officially canceled their concert now. Sigh I just knew it. We specifically didn't do anything or go anywhere for Mother's Day this year…one of the days I dread most all year long…because we had plans to go to the concert. It was rescheduled to July due to Art's vocal problems.

Which, come on. Simon and Garfunkel was great because it was made up of two masters: a songwriter and a singer. Without the voice, it just wouldn't have been the same (even with the great words). After jumping through all the hoops to get my refund and re-buy the tickets to see the concert at a different venue, I think I started preparing myself for the idea that this wouldn't happen after all.

So there you have it. Thumbs up for the new Nike + chest strap, thumbs down for disappointment.
