Well, this was an interesting run. I met friends at the track and ran 5 miles....around and around and around. It was another beautiful morning. I didn't want to keep track of my laps, so I wore my new Garmin, which has been pretty accurate so far (I think). But, after a while, it seemed to be a whole lap off. At then end of my run, it said I had run 5.36 miles. But, based on my time (49:54), I think I just did 5. Maybe I was going faster, I don't know. Maybe running around in circles confused Mr. GPS in the Sky. Oh well. I felt good, and my blisters are getting better!
OK, I'm changing my entry to 5.25, thanks to advice from ArmyRunner, that my Garmin wasn't a whole .36 mile off! Which means I averaged a 9:30 pace. I'm supposed to be running 10:00 pace-oops! Because I thought I'd only done 5, I really picked up the pace at the end to get under 50 minutes total, so my true average is probably more like 9:40.
