Hello there!Β Today is my first day with my students.Β As of yesterday, I have 21 on my roster.Β It is a good number and I know I will get more throughout the year.Β I had one day of training and one full of meetings.Β I am ready.Β We’ll see how it goes.
I didn’t buy or use many new products this year.Β I am pretty consistent with what I use.Β I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing.
These are the two new things I used this year.
ππΎββοΈ Garmin Forerunner 265.Β I had the opportunity to test this watch prior to it being available to the public.Β I wore it daily for a few minutes and provided my input.Β In exchange, I received this as a gift from Garmin.Β I love the color.Β There are many great features but one of my favorites is that it has the option to track my walks.Β I can also set it up to listen to music instead of using my phone.
Β
ππΎββοΈ Brooks Ghost Lite No Show Socks.Β I bought these on sale and use them every day (not just for running).Β They’re lightweight, soft, and just right cushioned (I don’t like my socks too cushioned).
Next week is a FREE topic.Β Feel free to write about any running-related topic.Β We hope youβll link up with us!
That looks like a nice Garmin. I have one that is a similar color, but mine doesn’t have walking as an option so all of my walks show up as runs. π
I hope you have a great school year! Our public schools in our county start tomorrow.
I know it isn’t a big deal but it drove me crazy that my walks would show up as a run. It is a great color!
I have the 230 which fits my minimal running needs.
Hope your school year goes well.
Thanks. One week down and many more to go.
Nice Garmin! I have the 255, which Iβve grown to really love. Iβm not very tech savvy, so it took sone time to figure out some of the bells & whistlesβ¦and there are so many features Iβm still not utilizing, LOL
Same here. For now it does what I want it to do.
I love those Brooks socks! I’ll order them the next time I place an order on the website.
They’re still on sale. Get them!
So cool you got to try and keep the Garmin watch! I wish they’d give me a watch to try LOL
I was surprised too when I was asked to be a tester that at the end of the trial I would get a free watch.
Those two new items are lovely! Glad Garmin asked you to be a tester! What an honour! π
I was surprised and happy too!
