Recovery run + core conditioning.

5:45 am, 32°F, 67% humidity, winds calm, partly cloudy.

I slept in until 5:30 today because I only had a short run and there was no seminary because of CSAP testing. As a result, it got light shortly after I started my run and I had sun in my eyes by the end of my run.

As far as the run goes, it was just a typical Wednesday recovery run with 3 miles in shoes and 2 miles in VFFs. The weird thing about this run is the splits. I don't know how this happened.

AP: 10:09. Splits: 10:34, 10:03, 10:03, 10:03, 10:03.

Really. That's what Garmin said the splits were.

Are you sure you weren't on the Garmin treadmill? Ha. That's funny.

NICE impromptu tempo run :) See, Mystery Miles are all abound :)

your consistency is amazing! :)

nice consistent run in the sun. Amazing splits...I don't think anyone could pull that off if they tried.

Looks like you need to work on keeping your mile splits more consistent.

From Nan Kennard on Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 15:30:20 from 174.51.250.151

Woah, trippy splits. Either that or you are just being an extreme perfectionist and looking at your watch every 10 seconds to keep your pace exact.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 15:50:33 from 24.8.167.243

I didn't look at my watch at all, Nan.

From Michelle on Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 17:26:38 from 174.29.65.50

Great splits! What a coincidence. It sounds like you had a nice morning with a bit of extra sleep and running in the light.

From Toby on Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 21:52:04 from 216.194.124.36

Nice recovery! Really Carolyn, those splits are amazing!

Garmin is broken? That is funny when that happens. Actually, I think it is a good thing. How's that "run Vertical" proprioceptive cue going? I think I kinda get it...

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 00:03:46 from 24.8.167.243

Auntie, the cue is going well. As for the Garmin, I'll have to see what kind of splits it records tomorrow.
