Which Garmin watch did you get? I have a VivoActive coming today.
Darn! I was hoping there would be at least a pink short-sleeved shirt.
I'm with you, I don't know why they don't have more stuff. I was disappointed that there wasn't a hoodie at the DL expo this year...I swear I have seen them in the past...

I hope so too! I found it for $149...really good deal so hopefully it'll work out for me. I do love my Forerunner 220 though...but I need something to track my steps for work and normally I wear my FitBit and FR220 on the same wrist when I run. Would be nice to have all of the capability in one watch,
Yeah, their lack of C2C stuff was really surprising to me. Obviously they know how many people want to cross C2C off of their bucket lists, so why not capitalize on that?

Yeah, I read about that. I hope there's a way to turn that off...?
Yes! My FitBit does this a teeny tiny bit - just buzzes when I get a phone call. That's not something I thought I ever needed, but I always keep my ringer off at work so it's been super helpful. It'll be ever better when the Vivofit does it with text messages.

I don't have a daily goal in mind, per say, but if I track 100,000 steps each month I sizable discount on my health insurance, so I just need them recorded.

Mostly I hope there's not some sort of functionality that my 220 has that the Vivoactive doesn't that I will really miss. I know the Vivoactive doesn't let you program in workouts or something, but I don't do that with the 220 anyway. Mostly I just need to see average and current lap pace, distance and time. I'll be happy with that.
Right now I'm just doing easy and long runs with no walk breaks. Eventually I'll start doing speed intervals (10x400m repeats or whatever), but I was planning on doing those on the treadmill anyway so the fact that the watch can't handle my setting up a workout like that ahead of time isn't a big deal for me. My first-ever Garmin watch was a 305 and I was able to set up workouts on my computer and transfer them to the watch, and then when I had the watch on it already had the workout programmed in. I think the VivoActive can't do that. In reviews I was reading people were saying that the lack of that function was a total deal breaker (the other complaint I saw was the screen was dim indoors...what do you think?).
Okay, good. I can do that on my 220...one screen has my current average pace, time and distance. If I scroll down to the next screen it has the lap pace, lap time and lap distance. I'd like that same functionality in the VA and it sounds like I'll get that.
Good deal!

You'll love having the watch. So much more freedom, and like you said, it's really nice to not have to run with the phone.
My family has stayed there about 3 times for our vacations. Its SUPER close to the pedestrian entrance! Like almost as close as you can get. I think Park Vue Inn and BW Park Place Inn are the only two that are closer. Parking is tight but wasn't an issue for us cause we dont move our car once we're parked. They have valet now (no extra charge) so that makes it a bit easier. Every time we stayed there our room had a view of the fireworks. Rooms were always very very clean. I've heard others say they think the beds are too hard but no one in my family every said that and we sometimes traveled with a total of 11 people. They have an indoor pool which can be a plus or a negative depending on how you look at it. When we stayed there the breakfast was pretty basic; cheerios and one other type of cereal, pastries, bead and a toaster to make toast, whole fruit (either apples or oranges), coffee, tea, juice. I would definitely stay there on a race weekend if the price was right!
Another vote for SuperShuttle. It's not perfect (you end up waiting a bit since you share rides...in my case I was the last pick-up on the route from the airport, so I had a 20-30 minute wait...whereas the first pick-up had been in the shuttle for awhile at that point), but for the price you really can't beat it.
