Dear Garmin Forerunner 110,
What can I say, we have had some wonderful runs together. You have shown me the wonders of running, be it showing my pace, my miles logged, where I ran, etc. You have timed me, when I needed to be timed. You have uploaded info which details my fastest and slowest pace. You were kind enough to map my run for me.
Here's the thing though.....I'm just not that in to you anymore. You see, I'm more worried about what my pace is, when I should be worried about how I am running. I feel like I'm looking at you for some sort of validation, and in return, I just see numbers going and going. Really though, it's not you, it's me. I just don't want to know what my pace is every second of my run.
Last week's long run was nice, because I wasn't worried about was I hitting my pace. I find when I worry about it, I'm not doing it. So I've made a decision. I'm going to cut back on using you. We can call it a break, though I will confess, I may see someone else. There's a hot Timex I've had my eye on, and all it does is keep time. I know, I know, it seems cruel, but I really think technology is not making be a better runner.
Oh, we'll still see each other. I just can't commit to the longer runs with you. I want to feel freer than I am. I hope you understand.
Love,
Charlie

Dear Charlie,
You suck, and your wrist is a bit stinky when you run.
Yours,
Forerunner 110
