Welcome back Garmin!

Finally got round to getting a new Garmin which meant two things this morning. Firstly, I found out that the German road sign mileage isn't quite as accurate as it should be (didn't run quite as far as I thought last week!), but secondly, it does now mean my runs are accurately measured in time and distance again. With two weeks to go to Dresden, decided to run a full half-marathon this morning and ran a personal best of 1:53:25. Was a bit of a struggle (not quite sure what effect the chilli-based muscle rub stuff I bought in the chemist for 20 euros yesterday had - none methinks and I could be looking at a pair of those long socks worn with such great success by TMM), but hopefully it means that things are looking good for a first sub-2hour race in Dresden. Training will now taper down before Dresden, which shouldn't be too difficult as midweek runs have been virtually non-existent the past couple of weeks. Keep on running!!!
