Slow.  Recovery run on the 6 mile buffalo route which isn't really a recovery route, but then, none of my 6 mile loops are.  I suppose I could do 6 laps on the Cameo Park mile loop, but that is boring unless I'm seeing how fast I can make it around and that isn't recovery either.

I've been trying this app/online community called strava.  What I like is that after you log a run, you can take any part of it and record it as a segment.  Then you get a list of all the people who have run that segment using strava and their times and where you rank on the list.  It is a cool way to keep track of how you do on noteworthy segments, such as a brutal hill climb, that you run often.  Workouts can be logged through an app or from Garmin.  Unfortunately, I don't have a Garmin so I am recording my runs on my Timex and my phone right now.

Is your timex gold and from the 80's?? I hope so.

Nice job Jeff. You're running is awesome. You're doing really well & I'm impressed by the motivation.

I wish it was gold and from the 80's, but the 80's didn't have GPS so it probably would only tell time. It might be easier to read, though.
