You probably only need the garmin for confirmation anyway. Way to give back to the running community.

adam. i have definitely come to rely on the garmin. especially in this season. i'm running paces that i have never dreamed of which means that on some days, i need the watch to show me what i'm actually doing. i hope i can lead others to greatness, but i'm not counting on it as a skill.

what with another SNOW STORM, i took to the treadmill. felt like a step back, but i got it in. i don't want to touch that thing again for some time.

It's not snow, but we had frost here today. Where's global warming when you need it? Hopefully you can put the dread mill on moth balls until next winter.

no doubt! at least the snow is melting on the pavement. and as long as there isn't gale force winds, i can head back outside tonight.

Dan, Logan's football trainer makes them do "dead treadmill". The treadmills are off and they have to run on them using only man-power. That might mix it up a bit for you? LOL

alright "easy" b 14 km 01:03 07:14 pace
ran the first 5 in 4:41's and the next 9 in 4:22's. it feels so much better on my knees with a quicker pace. not part of the program though. i'll try not to do it regularly.

Nice run Dan. I prefer a faster too, but unfortunately I can't hold it. Maybe if I dropped 20 pounds or 20 years it would be a different story.

If you can make it make sense, let me know. I just can't understand why someone/ a group would do something so cowardly and pointless.

it is cowardly. that's part of what makes me so angry. i'm not sure i can make sense of it, but at least, running helps me settle and deal with my emotions. these major races, and maybe all big sporting events, will likely never be the same.
