I love love love my garmey. It's been so good to me. I figured out how to make it show the splits, but it's on my computer at home so I'll post it later. What I do know is that my average pace was 9:06. Which is not where I want to be (I wanna be under 8:30) but it's faster than my average pace on Saturday so that is good. I think now that I am aware of how fast I'm going, I'll be able to get faster as I keep training.

Here's the other thing. I started out really strong, first mile was under 8:00 and then gradually every mile got slower and slower. I need to stop that! I want to be more consistent, actually I just wanna stay under 8 the whole time. I'll get there.

I went to bed way late last night and didn't think I would be able to get up but as always I'm so happy that I did and that I ran as much as I did. It actually felt pretty good too, I was worried I would be lagging. It was really windy the first 3 miles but it died down so that was nice.

Went to 7 peaks on Saturday and fried. It's just how I do.

That's one thing I've learned to start out slower. And a hard learned lesson it was.

yes it seems as though you started to fast. :)

You're right, I wish I could just go that fast all the time :) It feels so good at first and I think wow I'm feeling great and then boom boom pow, brick wall.

I have plotted this data out, ran a logarithmic trendline through it, and come up with an equation for your predicted marathon time. My numbers, and they are always right, show that your time would be 4:37:45, give or take a second. Your half marathon time would be 2:18:45. What does this tell us? That you started out too fast. So let's take your overall average (8:58), and assume that you run that every mile. Now your predicted time becomes 1:57:30. That's more than 21 minutes faster. Numbers never lie.

Yikes, I think I should give up now. jk but I'm going to try and focus really hard on keeping the pace consistent. Your numbers have scared me straight.

Great job on the 5 miles, I really am jealous that you got a Garmin... I really hope theres one in my near future.
