Beep Beep

So the beep beep sounded irritating? Well, just about an hr earlier when you heard it for the first time, when you were not exhausted with the running, when you had not done an R3/W2 several times, you found it to be musical, remember NB?

Bought a timex ironman with interval timers. The freestyle I had bought earlier did not have interval timing and though I had found a way to do interval timing on that, it was, let's say, not very efficient.

Just a few days ago, NB and I were discussing that we didnt have any cool gadgets nor felt the need for those - well, we should have got this toy earlier. As NB mentioned today that she always wanted to focus on interval running - I would like to say that I wanted to focus on how to get started on running. Running intervals was the least of my concerns at that time. And the best interval I would have run was R1/W10 or just W ;)

Even though the weather was cool, there was no breeze. Didnt enjoy the R3/W2. Was tired after the run.
