Notes
---Looks like my Garmin is down for the count. I had to run with a watch, how 2008!---
Had a bad start to the run. Came home, watched a rather disappointing WOW (Peter Gilmore from 2007), did a quick stretch and started to drive toward one of my old places. When I drive to places to run, I usually turn on the Garmin since it seems to grab the GPS satellites better. I kept trying and it wasn’t even turning in, so I turned around and drove back.
I came back up to my room and still couldn’t get it on. I couldn’t even get it to charge. After an hour of messing with it, looking up problems in the manual and dealing with another Internet problem, I finally drove to my old place to run Morena.
Using my watch, I started out with no real idea how I felt. After a few minutes I started to feel pretty good, though. Luckily I had a pretty good idea where the mile splits were. I messed up a few but was able to add and subtract a few seconds by looking on the RunningAhead map.
I picked it up during the dark area that is quite dangerous, which probably is the reason my third mile was in 7:26. Luckily I wore my orange, reflector, geek vest, since that 1/3-mile stretch is pretty hairy. I slowed down a bit on the fourth and fifth miles, but was able to pick it up toward the end just trying to finish.
Overall it was a good run. I’ll take it, given my shape right now and my 3-to-1 ratio of diet sodas-to-water today. I already miss the Garmin though.
