Normally I would have just put 11.X miles, but 11.11 seemed kinda lucky. Great run today. New route out through Hyde Park. The roads were mostly snowy, but it was perfect because it was smooth and just packed enough that it wasn't all slushy, but at the same time it gave a little cushion. Thoroughly enjoyed this run. Sun was out, weather was a little warmer in the 20s today. Little bit of runner's high to ride on. Felt fantastic. Just a very satisfactory day. In other news, I'm becoming even more nerdy by trying to get my Garmin to work in Linux so I don't have to ruin my day by booting up Windows every time I want to upload data to my computer. I found a program that looks like it will work, called Turtle Sport, but I'm still working out a few kinks and learning some things in the process. If it works it will be pretty cool. 11:19 PM: After a couple of hours of researching different programs and punching in random lines in my terminal over a couple of days, I have successfully integrated my Garmin with Ubuntu Linux. I am a genius. Ok, maybe not--it was actually pretty easy. It's pretty slick software, too. Projects my courses onto Google Earth, Google Maps, and basically does everything but the dishes. At first I was worried because it was all in French, but I figured out how to switch it to English. Very cool. :) So if anyone needs to know how to do that, I know how.
