    good RnR St. Pete 1/2 marathon 13.23 mi 02:08 09:41 pace

    Didn't feel as good as I had hoped, probably because it was so much colder and windier than I would have guessed for Florida. Still within a minute or so of my time goal of 2:06, and I registered ... read more

    I think I was exhausted yesterday, so I turned in early last night and had a good night's sleep. Woke up feeling good today, and had a very nice 3-mile run a little quicker than it felt. Chilly f... read more

    A very nice way to finish up the week. I very rarely don't take at least 1 rest day a week, but I'm finding that steady short runs every day is a nice way to begin a taper. Have an 8-miler planne... read more

    This has become my regular 3 mile run while in Clarksville. I like it because it's a bit long, and has some good inclines. I can also convert it to 4+ with an additional neighborhood loop. Was ti... read more

      I always think as long as I don't get blisters the first time I wear new shoes I'm doing OK. Good luck braking them in.

    Back in Clarksville after a busy, but very nice weekend at home. Last week's easy runs left me with fresh legs, so I'm ready to hit it a little harder this week since I've left my cold behind.

      Did you try putting the Garmin in a bag of dry rice? It really does sometimes work. seems the other Garmin is strange for you. And that is NOT slow!
