i'm going to call todays run "fast" miles but i was going pretty slow..

6 miles at the track.  I was running around 9min miles and having a really hard time breathing.  i didn't get much of a workout but I couldn't get enough air to run much faster.  my wife had a big time asthma attack last night after we watched our daughters windy softball practice so maybe something is in the air.

i decided to skip getting a Garmin and i purchased a Nike+ Tom Tom gps watch! From what I've read it sounds like the watches were buggy at first (released a month or two ago) but my watch came with the 3rd firmware update and it's working great!  The GPS is really good if I start my run an extra 20 to 30 seconds after it says its "synced".   If I start as soon as the watch says it's ready to go then my first .1mi is a bit off while the GPS catches up to my real location.

 4mi in the rain late last night.  pretty cold but glad i got out. 

edit: the nike+ website isn't the best, but it works.  i found a nice donationware mac gps app that will pull the data from the nike+ running website. (and has an export to .gpx option) http://trailrunnerx.com/

10.4 miles biking up and down Squaw Peak road.  I made it to the dirt road before turning around and wasn't even close to hitting snow.  I'm hoping to bike further along the road this week.  Just for laughs here are my splits...  a 2:06 mile!  :P
