Ran with the Garmin for the first time!!! It is definitely nice to have. I usually run this course at about a 7 min mile and ran today at 6:45 pace... My markers were almost on but it is nice having gps to tell me exactly where I am.

warmed up one mile, and boy did I need to warm up! it was snowing (about as snowy as it gets in St. Goerge, anyway) and was about 28'. Ran 4 miles about 6:45 pace then cooled down for about 1.3 miles.

Green Springs loop then up escatera for cool down.

Asics GT 2130 Miles: 6.30

Good run today Nate. Now that you've got a Garmin you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. I've gone through 3 in the last few years. We'll have to get out for a little run sometime. I'm going to ease back into things around mid-weekish.

BTW Mik'L hasn't heard the story of my day yet.
