PM - 15 miles. Didn't get out until the afternoon... for an easy 6-8 mile run that ended up being measuring a little bit long on my garmin. 

PM - 4 miles. Sunglasses at 8pm. Gotta love the long days.

we ran 7.3, but rounded it up to 15 because garmins don't account for the hills and rainy conditions.

I always follow this rule with Garmins:

Double it, then add 0.4.

So you made the right decision.

You didn't enter any miles.

And what's with the swimming and biking options?

From Jake K on Sun, May 25, 2014 at 16:29:11 from 98.202.128.218

Those options have been there since I inadvertently selected that template when I joined the blog 3 years ago. It's a huge pain (for Sasha) to switch the template so I just live with it. I wish I could switch swimming/biking to electro-color/paleo-inflatable-obstacle!

Good catch on forgetting to enter any miles... although in hindsight I remember doing a pair of treadmill runs one day in January so it's probably good running karma for me to take a zero here :-)

Ahh, the "pain in the butt to change template" rears its ugly head again.

From Jake K on Sun, May 25, 2014 at 21:16:02 from 98.202.128.218

It's pretty easy to remember to enter 0 miles for biking and swimming since I don't bike or swim :-)

You could probably do a new name: Jake K^2. Or another vitamin letter. There are many Jake [insert first letter of last name] on the blog.

From Jake K on Sun, May 25, 2014 at 22:07:31 from 98.202.128.218

Jake was the most popular baby name for about a decade, so it makes sense there are a lot of us popping up.

The template I have works perfectly well for my purposes... all I would log is miles anyways. If I could change anything, I'd just get rid of the option for decimal points.
