Hmmmmm. Very nice. I might have to think about migrating.Similar to @joel_maxwell ...a combination of Garmin Connect (to get splits, elevation, etc.) and Google Docs (or Drive...whatever) to plan out my schedule.I like Google Drive because I can update it anywhere (home, work, using the app on my phone, etc.).
It's not perfect by any means (example: they just added the capability to edit cells in the app, like, 2 weeks agoHmmmmm. Very nice. I might have to think about migrating.
Jill, mine is a simple XLS spreadsheet from Microsoft. Im not sure if Arial484 has Garmin import and display data through google docs or input it manually. Mine is all manual. It is double the work since I upload it, then copy it all to XLS, but I dont mind.Garmin Training Center although I do nothing with the data once I download it. I had no idea you could make those fancy charts above on other Garmin software!
Very nice Nick. I would expect nothing less than hand written. Very cool.Garmin connect. And the old fashioned way: write everything down in my daily journal. Yup, with a pen too. Weather, how i felt, miles, calories, what I saw, injuries, pains, nutriton, gear, etc... It's very detailed![]()
Kristi, we are poster children for a variety of OCD tendencies. We are artist (in our own way). It is in our blood to be ridiculously detailed. LOL, it is normal and without it, I would feel incomplete.Boy, you guys are good! I just upload it to Garmin Connect and do nothing else. Basically just use it as a running log to look at my mileage.

It's not perfect by any means (example: they just added the capability to edit cells in the app, like, 2 weeks ago) but it's getting better. You can't do super fancy stuff with it, like macros/VBA programming or VLOOKUP, but you can sum columns and create multiple worksheets.

I just type it all in to Excel on Google Drive...I think everything can be exported to a .csv file, and that could be imported to Google Drive or opened in Excel. One issue I sometimes get with Google Drive is not being able to edit documents that I import in frm MS Word, Excel, etc.Jill, mine is a simple XLS spreadsheet from Microsoft.

HAHA.I would have never imagined I'd see the word VLOOKUP on these boards. The work world and personal life merging a little too much for me.
I just use Garmin Connect. The only thing I care about is my splits and pace per mile, so it does the job for me.

I do 2 of my runs every week on the treadmill so that mileage wouldn't be captured in Garmin Connect because I don't have the foot pod, so that's a big reason why I use Google Drive.
Im not going to speak for Nick, but I can say with confidence, we are data junkies. I love to look back on events I do every year and look at the splits, the elevation comparisons etc. I also use it as a training tool. If I know that I have a killer run coming up (Ruffner Mtn for instance), Ill look at the 3-4 major climbs in that run and try to find hills locally that are similar and even do them in order to mentally prepare. Its fun to me. I LOVE satellite views too and looking at new routes.Way too much work for me. I create a calendar at the beginning of each month showing the runs I intend to do. At the end of each run, be it outdoors with the Garmin or indoors on the TM, I jot down in my running journal my route, distance, pace, and perceived difficulty. I may take note of the elevation changes but I don't record it. It gets downloaded into Garmin Training Center when I connect the Garmin to the computer, but after that, I never really look at it again. I'm not tech savvy enough.

I have tried to run with my dogs but I guess I haven't trained them well enough! My husband and I each tried to take one and occassionally one or the other would suddenly cut in front of us and almost trip us. And like you, we have the sudden stop or the many potty breaks they want to take. It is definitely a different kind of workout!I ran with my dog for the first time the other day (just for 1.5 miles to see how he would do). It was OK, except for the 2 or 3 times he stopped and I almost dislocated my shoulder. I should put that in the logs somehow.
