Haha. I've just got an email saying mine has been dispatched and expected delivery is Thursday :)

AncientMumGraduate in reply topaul2014

Could say that I ordered mine on Amazon Prime and it'll arrive tomorrow, but I didn't! Guess you're gonna get yours first :)

I was thinking of signing up for that just to get the free next day delivery then cancelling it but couldn't do with the hassle ;)

Ordered the Forerunner 10. Couldn't justify anything more swanky with daughter no.1 heading off to Uni in October, but suspect I'll do everything I'll ever need :)

Yippeeeee! You will love it! Which one did you go for? :)

AncientMumGraduate in reply toTreemouse

Ordered the Forerunner 10. Don't know which colour though. Got daughter no.2 to choose without telling me. So could be a Pink Peril, a Green Goblin or a Lilac Lady. I won't know until I open the box ( or go back and check my Amazon confirmation email) Excited doesn't come close :) :)

My guess is a lilac lady ;)

AncientMumGraduate in reply topaul2014

I'm guessing Green Goblin ( or should that be Goddess) She knows green is my fav colour, but she did say I'd be surprised.........

The garmin is a brilliant investment. I got given the one in purple just after I graduated and it really helps. Only the lightest route planning and no worrying about how far you're running as you can check it :)

Hi P1glet1, how's the running going? I've been absent for while, but hope to be well soon and back in he saddle :D

Doooooooodle! I'm well ty, had an awful bout of tonsillitis and was on antibiotics for 3.5 weeks, so I just getting back into the swing of things. Didn't regress like I thought I would. .how are you? Xx

lemondoodle in reply toP1glet1

Sounds good (not the tonsillitis aka swallowing glass)

I found when I restarted after an op in Feb and went back to week 1 after an 8 week gap it felt easy. Unfortunately I've been a bit unwell since though - I've a history of fatigue issues and I've had to take another break while I work on that. I'm getting out about once a week though doing a week 3 run and I do enjoy it and am confident in time I'll be back progressing through the program and FINALLY GRADUATING... I tell you what though - I def prefer running in the colder winter.

Much as I like Mapometer, I'll be glad to stop plotting my route street by street. :)

I'm jealous. Still thinking that I should get one, but saving up for a swanky trisuit at the moment. Maybe after that. Keep us informed how you get on with them.

AncientMum profile image
AncientMumGraduate in reply toRealfoodieclub

They are very cheap on Amazon at the moment ( well cheap compared with their price on the Garmin site.) I've been thinking about it since I graduated and just couldn't hold back any longer :)

You'll both love your new Garmins, GM and Paul! :-) They're great; I love mine. Of course, the pink one is where it's at, though I know Mousey's gonna come disagree with me now! :D

AncientMumGraduate in reply toMiles_Yonder

The suspense is killing me! Pink Peril, Green Goddess or Lilac Lady??? :D

Miles_Yonder profile image
Miles_YonderGraduate in reply toAncientMum

Hmmmmmm. Something tells me pink! Although lilac is a close second! I really like the funky colours they have.

You'll find it invaluable; I love mine and wonder how I managed without it!
