Hadn't planned to run today, at all. But my wife's car was in the shop, and my son's car wouldn't start, and he had an interview for a volunteer job at an area museum this afternoon, so he took me back to work after lunch and then took my car to the interview. Which left me with how to get home once I finally finished work. I could have called and waited for someone to pick me up, or I could run home. So I ran. Didn't have my Garmin, or even a watch, but my cellphone has a stopwatch feature and I clicked that on as I left the office, which is almost exactly a mile from the house. Got home and looked at the stopwatch, and it was my exact GMP for a four-hour marathon: 9:09. Spooky, huh? Or maybe I just have my body tuned in to 9:09 miles. |
