Nice new PR Teresa! Congrats! Enke/Evan - I do use USATF to map out my routes, but I don't think it's that far off. I pick different routes all the time, but when I've mapped a certain route and when I've run the same route with John - who does use his Garmin, it only varies by about 1/10 mile. I am sure my stopping to eat berries, taking a few walk breaks as well as about 3 miles worth of hills, in which I was probably averaging about 12 min/miles (they were steep!), really did make my overall run a slow pace. Fortunately, I don't care too much on exact distances, etc. As long as I'm enjoying my run, it's good enough for me.

I hope your Saturday is going Fantastic. My day started with a 5:00 run. 10 miles coach approved LR after the relay last weekend. Then I worked for 2 hours in the garden, the war with the weeds still continues Then my son and his college friends invited me to hike with them. We hike for about 2 hours, but had to stop to pick the monster huckleberries we were finding. A gallon later we decided to quit and come home. Pay back time now...the kids wants me to cook dinner for them...or...I should say...I wanted to cook dinner for them since they were such good troopers while picking the huckleberries for me. Off to put some burgers in the grill and to make some tabbouleh salad.
