It was 45 degrees with very light rain.....nothing like Saturday thank goodness.  I ran 7.07 easy, recovery miles.  Legs a bit heavy from Saturday.  I caught up with Bob just after mile 4 and ran with him for a few miles...great conversation.  Total 7.07 miles.

No run this morning.  I needed to leave for Rexburg at 5:00am to uninstall the POS registers for a new counter to be installed.  Then I had to re-install them so we could open in time.

I have been having "issues" with my Garmin all week.  I got water inside it last week at Ogden..go figure.  I have had problems getting it to turn on unless I do a hard re-boot once or twice.  I got it to turn on this morning and put it outside as per usual.  When I went back out the screen was blank and I couldn't get it to turn on at all.  I guess I was going to do my long run without it.

It was 39 degrees at the top of Buckskin with calm winds.  4 of us went up, but I was the only 1 going longer than 14 so I would be on my own.  Luckily, we were running the marathon route so I knew where the mile splits were.  I left Barry and Allison in Inkom and kept going towards Pocatello.  Sue picked me up at the freeway exit by Century so I was at least .25 past the 20 mile mark so I will call it 20.25.

I guess I will be looking for a new Garmin today....  At least I got 7 years out of this one!
