I ran out past GU Corner and then down into the riverbottoms, I then ran my 2 mile loop down in there and then back to GU corner and then back to the house. My watch was all screwed up this morning, it had me running a 11:28 mile up to gu corner but I know that's not right and then in the same place on the way back it had me running a 9:08 mile downhill which was way off. My watch time wise is off too its like I was in a time warp or something and my watched slowed down on these two miles, in the same place! here's my splits, 8:17, 8:31, 8:29, Time warp area 11:28, 7:44, 8:13, 7:50, 8:23,  time warp area again 9:08 downhill too, 8:13, 8:18, 8:14, .10 9:02.... My watch went crazy in the same place on the way out and then on the way back, I will call this area the Bermuda Triangle, cuz it screwed my watch up big time. If it happens again I'll really be freaked out!!! I felt pretty good even though the watch issues frustrated me a little bit. I think my average pace was more in the 8:15 area cuz those two miles were sub 8:15 and sub 8:20. HR average was in the 147 range. No strength training today had a pretty good run and I will leave it at that, i feel really good about this week and the training, I just hope I can keep it up all year long and then have a good year.
