LM warmup (10 reps), 6 miles in 50:02, 8:20/mi, HR 150, 2 mile walk w/ dogs, SLCR (15), PU/SU/LegAb/LegAd/Ham ladder (7/7/4/3/3) & stretching. 

Gorgeous day for a run.  More like a jog today to see how everything felt and responded.  Lower right hamstring started out a bit tight but loosened up.  Then the right ankle started some general complaining for about a mile before fading.  The last 2 back the left hip and adductor were beginning to complain and I'm still a bit gun-shy when they speak up, so I eased up even more.  Afterwards, everything felt pretty decent overall.  Then during the dog walking, the left foot arch started hurting out of the blue again, so I guess I need to keep massaging that bugger.  Running is definitely good for my mental state though.

Interesting that the Garmin 310XT elevation tracks are *much* better than the 405s (or 305s) were.  Quite nearly the quality that the Garmin Connect elevation correction provides.  Good, since I plan to be hurling myself up and down very large and steep hills over the next few months.

Elevation and hill grade information is the one thing about my 405 that I consider to be totally crappy. I wonder why they can't do a software upgrade if the 310 is more accurate. Or maybe it's a hardware issue.

Good work, keeping the runs conservative for now!

My uneducated guess is that the 310XT is doing some type of smoothing internally. The elevation value seems to jump around while standing still just like the 405, but the graph on the Garmin Training Center is nice and smooth and pretty close to reality.

More hardware (space) in the 310XT to perform that function maybe? Dunno.
