A couple weeks ago, I sent my Garmin Forerunner 305 back to Garmin for repairs. The thing just wouldn’t pick up a satellite signal anymore. Since then, I’ve had a lot of what I call “Zen Runs” which I really love. During these runs, I don’t carry any techno gadgets with me (no iPod or watch). I use these runs to really focus on my breathing and meditate. I never worry about any technique or pace. I just focus on the present. I highly recommend doing them. They feel liberating!
