Time Periods in the Health section

I would like to see the the number of Time Periods expanded in the Health section.

Currently one can choose from: All data, 30 days or 7 days. I'd like to see additional options such as: 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 5 year.

The current configuration seems to assume that once a person begins a health program they continue. Since most people have periods where they almost 'start-over' it would be nice to be able to enter old data and then be able to see a comparison with the last time but also be able to just track this time.

For example, let's say a person spends 9 months training for a marathon. After wards they don't continuing with as much exercise/training. Two years later they decide to ramp up again and plan for another 9 month training program. After 30 days of training, the current training program can't be seen in its entirety because of the old data. Data people, and most people who use these products are data driven people, don't want to delete their old data.

A benefit for Garmin would be the Health section would be usable for a longer period of time as THE place to store all their data. I use an EXCEL spreadsheet, but would prefer to just have it on the Garmin site. Finally, when it is time for me to replace my top-of-the line watch, I have more than brand loyalty -- I have all my data on the site.

I would really appreciate this added feature.
