Ran down to Monarch for practice. Long day at work and super busy, especially with the end of the quarter this week and me leaving for a couple of days to St. George. I really didn't feel like running. Besides this cold weather sucks! But I knew I needed to get a few miles at least, and I did a little better than a few. Greg and I hooked up like usual for some adult conversation. We ran up around the res and down to Butterfield. When we got there we decided to add on the loop around the Cove pond, and then we came down the trail. When we got back I was at 9.6 miles, so I ran home and added around the block for 11. 7:19 pace for the run, not bad for the terrain covered and not wanting to run at all. I was super congested today and it took me a while to feel good, even though the pace never felt hard. I think my congestion stems from the weather roller coaster we have been on, the nasty south wind last week, and the 3 birthday parties last weekend with all of the junk I ate. I ate a lot of junk! For the 4 people that still look at this old blog I have a question? My Garmin is 5 years old now and still works fine, but the battery life has went from about 8-9 hours to about 3 hours if I am lucky, and I was considering a new one in the near future. Any suggestions on which one is the best one? I am kind of out of the loop.
