Man, it was hot out on my run yesterday!
It was snowing just a couple days ago... and Thursday it reached 66 degrees. That's a big difference!
I changed and stepped outside into the sun, hitting my Garmin power button. "Low Battery." Crap. How can I do a tempo run without my GPS??
I turned around and swapped my Garmin for my stop watch. So instead of watching my pace, I just ran at what I hoped was a fast-enough speed.
After nearly two years with my Garmin, running naked felt very strange!
I ran hard for 21:43, walked a block and then jogged back to THS.
Always obsessed with the numbers, I immediately logged on to Google Map Pedometer and discovered that I'd run 2.66 miles in that first interval.
Some fancy math later (Can I tell you how much I really appreciate my Garmin?!?), I figured out that I'd done an 8:10 average. Awesome! If I had known I was just a half mile from a 5K, I would have pushed to finish it out. Oh well.
I rode my bike home in the warm sun - so nice for a change :)
Brad's been craving pizza, so we went to Round Table for possibly my very favorite food: Italian Garlic Supreme (minus the sausage and pepperoni).
Man, that was some amazing pizza!
Brad and I ended up sitting in the restaurant for 2 hours, just chatting. Then home to watch our favorite Thursday shows :)
