      I know it's a typo but I'm having fun filling in the blank at "...I haven't ____ before work in a long time."
      That shift to the pre-work can be tough but I like it once I'm there. Real nice pace for feeling tight.
      What Garmin are you getting? I'm starting to think about one myself.
