Back on familiar ground tonight for a fartlek run, 6 X 40 second surges. Temperature almost exactly the same as Tuesday morning in Phoenix -- but humidity wasn't. Shorts were dripping by the time I finished, although the surges might have had something to do with that. Did a better job of keeping the pace of the surges where I wanted it, while running a better pace before, during and after. Last week's run averaged barely under 10:00; tonight's was 9:10.
More Garmin weirdness. I know that sometimes the Garmin takes a while to recombobulate when you travel. It weirded out in NYC and Phoenix, but not in Chatham or Chicago or Wisconsin. Go figure. Sometimes it weirds out without going anywhere, but that's usually because I'm too far inside the house when I turn it on. No weirdness tonight on the return home, even though that was 1000 miles away from its last use too.
I'm planning to get in a short run tomorrow, then do 8 on Sunday. Since I still don't know the work schedule next week, I may front-load the week's running to have as little conflict as possible with the commute, if and when it starts. |
