47F.  Garmin died but it was slow.  I do felt like I had a pretty good recovery though, despite nearly maxing myself out yesterday.

PM - 75F; got in 2 miles or so jogging around the soccer fields while Elle was at practice.  It would have been more but on my last pass I saw her sitting in my chair while everyone else was practicing.  Apparently she was goofing off and got in trouble...so had to correct that and keep an eye on things after that.

That's weird about your Garmin. They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Kids. Always causing trouble :)

I'm caught up on your blog now. I've been terrible lately. Looks like you're still worried about your speed. I say you've still got it!

How is soccer going? (other than the obvious :) My kids are done already. It's cold already.

Matt - it's going ok - they have 3 games left after the one they had today (still nice and warm here). She's not very aggressive, but she's gotten a lot better. We got a crappy coach who is really intense and continuously in their ear about all the things they do wrong. I think she wants to try basketball next...
