Good morning!

I rode another 40 miles.  It was 73F with 99% humidity, and quite a bit of fog in the low spots.  I didn't get ran over, so it was a good ride.

Have a great day!

My ass hurts just reading about all these miles in the saddle.  20 on the trainer was more than enough for me, thank you!  (It really was; I finished my book before I was done.)

'Morning.  Lousy night of sleep last night on account of DOG issues.  She's going to the vet today, and I guessing she hurt her back again.  Anyway, I was up for usual morning swim this morning.  2600 yards done, and it was a pretty good workout despite the bad sleep night.  Tempo run later.

Awww, hoping she is OK.

Good morning!

My Garmin updated its software yesterday and I was in for a rude awakening this morning when I pushed start for my run.  My run settings/data screens were wiped out and the only thing on the screen was elapsed time. &?#$%$#!  Thankfully today was just an easy paced run, so I went by feel and I did get mile alerts, but that's the only feedback I had during the run.  It actually worked out really well, I was faster this morning than usual and it ended up being a good progression run and averaged on the faster end of the prescribed pace range in my plan.  I felt great the whole time and it felt easy peasy.  So now I'm wondering if I should deliberately do this again.  Anyway, 3 miles run commute.

MTA: the weather didn't suck today so I'm sure that played a role as well.  It was 71 and there was humidity, but it wasn't terrible.  Could have used a lake breeze though.

What is your longest run look like when you aren't training for anything, but starting marathon training in a few weeks? My coach suggested at least 90 min most weeks which is 9 miles for my slow ass.

13-14 miles on the low end, sometimes more like 15-16.

 

Pre-MRT I'm a 10 - 12 mile guy on the low end, 13 - 14 on the high end.

Sounds like a Garmin update!  I always wonder what will break when I install a new update.  I've had one sitting out there for a while and am reluctant to install it.

 

I've never had issues before with any updates on either of my Garmins.  My data screen is a 3rd party app (from the Garmin store), so maybe that has something to do with it, IDK.  My watch face is also a 3rd party app, but it survived the update just fine.  I'm going to have re-read the instructions for setting up the 3rd party data screen again, which is frustrating.

Is the 3rd party data screen good enough to make a recommendation on?

I use:

screen 1 (distance, timer, lap pace)

screen 2 (heart rate, avg pace, time of day, avg cadence)

screen 3 (sunrise and sunset are the only meaningful ones)

Ended up doing 7.5 at the group run last night, running with the girlfriend. Her pace is kinda like practicing for a really fast ultra, so I figure it's productive enough. Tonight is a group trail run...will probably just go to the run and not run out there since I'm working to get my legs revitalized again.
