4 miles in Miami.  31:05, 146BPM, My Garmin had a tough time finding satellites amongst the skyscrapers.  I'm in Miami for a few days for a conference.  I missed the previous few days because of a National Guard exercise.

Still in Miami.  I gave up on the Garmin.  Just went for a run, no watch.  Probably around 35 minutes.

My brother-in-law took me deep sea fishing today.  Left at dawn and got back late.  Plus, I had too many beers :)  No running, but tested my sea legs.  I turned green a couple times.

Travel day.  Back to Vermont.  I'm pretty worn out from the trip.  One more day off.

Race: Essex Harvest 5k (2.95 Miles) 00:19:25, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1

My buddy talked me into doing this race.  I'm way out of shape, so I knew it was going to hurt a bit.  The race was short, even though I took a wrong turn that added about 0.1mi to my run, the Garmin tallied 2.95 miles.  I had to burst my friend's bubble, he thought he ran a 16:37 5k, but he only ran about 2.85 miles.  Bummer.  Nothing else to report other than my splits: 6:19, 6:43, 6:24 (.95mi).  Total time 19:25 for 2.95mi.

Indoors at St. Mike's, 4.5 miles, 35:39, 7:55/mi, 136BPM.  My right calf started to tighten up, so I cut the run short.  The indoor track is just a mezzanine above the basketball courts in the main gym.  It's concrete with no rubberized surface.  It's not much better than running on a sidewalk.  I need to closely monitor my calves and knees while I train indoors.

This is a fun little event.  It draws around 500 participants, which is a bunch for this area.  My results were very similar to my other 5k a couple weeks ago.  The temp was in the high 30's and it was windy.  Splits:  5:50, 6:39, 7:06, :27 last .07mi.  The first half of the course is steady downhill.  At 1.5mi, you head off-road into the woods and the course gets a little tricky.  I'm satisfied with my effort, but can't wait until I'm fit again.  I'm spent aerobically within the first mile and have to hang on for dear life.  It's not a very fun way to compete.

Went to Anne's parent's house for Thanksgiving in Rutland.  We spent the night and I went running in unfamiliar territory in the morning.  I really like the Garmin on days like this.  7.2 miles, 57:52, 8:02/mi, 143BPM
