Fun with the club this morning. Most of the run was nice and easy. the last two miles we picked the pace up a little. Hit the last mile at around 5:40 pace.

Now for my sad little story...

After the run we all chatted in the parking lot for a few- and then went on our way. While I was gettting on the freeway I and approching around 70 mph I though I saw a bird hit my windsheild. I kept driving for about a quarter mile down the freeway and realized what had just happend. I had left my garmin sitting by my windshield wiper and when I got up to speed on the road it flew up and off my car. I parked along side the road and ran back down there hoping to find it- I did- only now it was in like seven chuncks with microchips and broke plastic everywhere. Sucks. Hope to get a new one soon. After running and training with one I could never go back to not having one.

Hey Clyde sorry to hear about the watch. I had just pulled into the other lane when I noticed what I that was you stopped on the side of the road, I feel bad I didn't stop or even call you later in the day to see what the problem was. Shame on me!

Not shame on you Dustin. Shame on me for being such a dough head.
