This week
I discovered how to make "Connections" with other Garmin users in Garmin Connect. I had been using "Training Centre" up to now, chiefly because I like its "Google Earth" interface. In Garmin Connect, once I had made a few connections I noticed that you can view their connections. Which makes it easy to find people.

Of interest is Peter Thomson's Garmin record. He runs at present about 3-4 times per week, and his other entries are walks with his dog which he does daily. Walking as a supplement to running is no bad thing.

If you want to start connecting with others on Garmin connect, you can start with me. Just search my (actual) name! It would help me keep track of how you (speedygeese) are going with your training. And racing, given that many race interstate and even overseas these days.

p.s. Thommo twisted my arm so much it hurt, he is keen to have 50 "Griffins" run this year's Canberra Marathon. I have put in my entry. I hope I haven't made a big mistake!
