Some problems with the Garmin today. Got the message "Done with False Readings" or something like that. The splits do seem a bit all over the place, but the last 2 registerd correctly. At any rate, 80 degrees at 11am today. Did 6.51 in 49:00 (7:31s). Splits as follows according to the Garmin:

7:47, 7:18, 7:00, 7:40, 7:47, 7:02, 4:21 (.51 -- 8:34s)

12:30pm. Upper 70s to 80 today with relatively high humidity. Tough time for a run, so I went moderately easy until I warmed up. Got in about 1.5-2.0 miles at approximate steady state pace. Given the temps though, it was a pretty good workout. 9.0 miles in 1:09:21 (7:42s). Splits as follows:

7:59, 7:59, 7:43, 7:15, 3:35 (.52 -- 6:57s) [took a 2 minute stop here before finishing the last 2.5 easy] 7:37, 7:45, 3:46 (.48 -- 7:50s).

Nice cool morning. Temps in the upper 60s to 70 degrees. Ran to the YMCA, but only Julie and one other person was there. Ran with them nice and easy and paced them for 2 x 600 meter pick ups. Did about 3 mile to the Y, 3.5 with them, then did another 4.5 with 2 x 1 mile pick-ups built in. All told was 11.03 miles in 1:26:52 (7:52s).

Splits: 7:59, 7:28, 7:04, 8:30, 8:42, 8:51, 8:54, 7:16 (pick-up with 2 significant hills, 1 of which was about 500-600 meters long), 7:47, 3:55 (.53 -- 7:21s), 6:12, 4:08 (.49 -- 8:23s)
