Want it so bad I can't concentrate on anything else

So here I am at work expecting a delivery from Amazon and I can't concentrate on anything else. I find myself looking longingly down the passage every few minutes hoping to see the receptionist walking towards me with a tiny box, that when I open it, will contain my new Garmin Forerunner 10.

Ridiculous.

I am a high heel fanatic and normally buy all my shoes online, but I can't remember when last a pair of heels made me this excited. C25K, what have you done to me?

I love my garmin- even with its fiddly bits and bobs. Isn't it great that running can give us this much excitement and enthusiasm-just like being a kid again. Hope it comes soon....

It arrived! And is charging while I type :-)

Can't wait to christen it this evening in what will be my first post-grad run.

I love my garmin too! Like you I love my shoes and handbags but my garmin is great. I get so disappointed if Ive forgotten to charge it or it occasionally plays up.

Have fun with it. Enjoy!

Hi Viki, I saw you're on Garmin Connect and asked to connect with you. I hope that's ok. Not been for my run as planned but I'd like to start adding a few people that I know from here.

Hi Oldgirl, hope you won't think me too forward, but I've joined Garmin Connect and asked to connect with you and few of the C25Kers. Hope that's ok.

Perfect, the more the merrier. Not running until Sunday now but will check and confirm when I upload Sunday's run. Hope you like it which I'm sure you will.

Thank you Delia, I've spent quite a lot of time looking around Garmin Connect and the C25K group. Lovely to see so many familiar faces on another website.

I know how you feel, be11adonna, I have promised myself a Garmin on graduating (in 10 days if all goes well) and I cannot wait.

It's great squaremum! I uploaded the details of my first Garmin run today to Garmin Connect and then spent many happy minutes analysing all the delicious statistics. There is a C25K group as well and you'll find many familiar faces when you join. Can't wait to see you there :)
