Notes
Did my own version of a WMTR today along the lakeshore in downtown Chicago. It was the most "in nature" I could get! GPS acted funny again...couldn't get it to lock from the 26th floor but then I went to the ground and it got on really quick. But it wouldn't switch from the Locating Satellites screen to the timer screen like it usually does. I finally manually forced it. So I don't buy the first mile was a 7 min mile. The other thing is that I ran until is said 2.6 miles and then turned around and ran the exact same route back. I wasn't over 5 yet so I kept going to get the last few tenths in there.
Another funny thing...my last 3 runs have been along lakeshores...in three different states and over three different weeks. I am home for a bit now so the next few weeks should be more normal and I can get back to morning runs and evening weights.
