Notes

Long Run (Garmin went beserk 12 miles in)

65 degrees at start. Phillips Place down Sharon to Cottswold, down Randolph, left on Wendover to Providence, Providence all the way into uptown (turns into 3rd), around Convention Center, out on South to past Dowd to Lexington, Lexington back to Morehead and up to Providence and to Sharon & then back to Phillips Pl.

As perfect yesterday was, today was a total disaster. Woke up several times with pain back in the area where I fractured my right foot last Jan & felt pain in left upper groin. As great as my legs felt yesterday, my legs felt very tired and labored today. Went shirtless on the run. iPhone kept dropping music and going into Voice Control mode so I had to manually cancel and get music back (estimate I did this about 100 times). Felt drizzle at mile 5, and then it started pouring rain for the next 3 miles into uptown (so my shoes got extremely heavy). Then I was hit by 20-35 mph wind gusts in my face throughout uptown. At 12 miles my Garmin went completely berserk - had the bezel locked and for about the next mile it was starting and stopping by itself, and since I could not get the music on, the beeping was driving me crazy. Finally stopped and reset the watch at corner of Wendover & Providence. Thought all was well but after 1.5 miles it began to start and stop again. When I was finished, tried to reset and it went completely blank. Time here is an estimate based upon when I stopped at 11 miles to try and fix my iphone.
