That's what I use so I can have the Garmin to log my miles, cals, heart rate, cadence, etc.<br />New Orleans is like our second home but I am not sure if I can give any really good suggestions for food. I eat Cajun food all of the time and when we are usually there, we eat whatever. (Especially when you are on Bourbon after having a handgrenade or two, you are just looking for something to eat.)<br />Go take a picture in front of the St. Louis Catherdral and go for a morning run along levee of the Mississippi River.Jess A @cajunrunnerjesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483633828532103352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-55359207803173257822011-08-06T02:47:02.023-04:002011-08-06T02:47:02.023-04:00That's so nice of the cop to open the bottle f...That's so nice of the cop to open the bottle for you, hehe!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822325780482227125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151121726336406894.post-40661977441027913812011-08-06T02:17:52.633-04:002011-08-06T02:17:52.633-04:00This reminds me of the last half-marathon I did, I...This reminds me of the last half-marathon I did, I stopped at an aid station and asked if they could re-fill my handheld.
