Collected all this information from the new Garmin Forerunner 405 that my wonderful family provided as a birthday present. Everything seems to work very well, EXCEPT that I cannot seem to get the Forerunner to synch with my laptop. I am going to spend some time going through the troubleshooting guide and hopefully get this issue resolved.

Sweaty running this morning with tired legs. For some reason my quads and my glutes feel tired after today's run. Maybe they are just complaining about yesterday's long run.
We're heading back home today in time to make tonight's dress rehearsal at the Cameron University Threater so Teresa and I can work backstage. Then tomorrow it is back to the work grind.

Crawled right out of bed around 6ish and went for a run. Not used to that schedule but it was a nice temperature which made for a nice run. We were slated for a 3.0 mile day however the housekeeper comes today so we could only run about 30:00 and still have time to get everyone out of the house on time.
Tomorrow is back to 4 miles.

*stopped to walk numbness out of my right foot and take off shirt
1.00 mi in 12:28 *slowing down to let foot recover
1.00 mi in 17:37 *walking since 4 miles was today's goal
0.54 mi in 11:19 *running the downhill stretch towards home
So I met my goal of 4.0 miles today and then tacked on another half for fun. It was toasty in the sun even at 8:18am with a heat index of 81F. The wind blowing at 20-30mph from the south was refreshing when it was in my face but I still had a hard time shedding some of the heat that got built up so at 3 miles I took off the shirt.
Tomorrow's goal is 3 miles. Location: Lawton, Oklahoma

No miles today.
Instead I had a visit with Dr for a bit of bloodwork early in the day. By the time I was at home the weather had turned hot and very windy.
Good time for a day off.

3.0 mi at avg pace of 11:15/mi Nice cool morning follow last night's strong thunderstorms. This pace is very close to my PR in the 5K I ran way back in March. Here's hoping I can keep it up.

I intended today to be a 4 mile day. For some reason I woke up in the early morning with very tight hamstrings and was afraid I might be hobbled but Teresa kicked me out of bed at 0615 so I had to run. Once I got loosened up I was able to run well enough. Legs were really tired though.
Tomorrow is slated to be 6 miles. Not sure if that will happen because the family schedule is awfully tight tomorrow.
