This morning I got up early only to spend 1.5 hours looking for my Ipod and charging Garmin. That was a waste of time since I never did find my Ipod and my Garmin died mid run. Oh well, at least it was lighter outside and I could take my time since Steve had the day off. I always want to sleep in with him, and when he finally has a day off, I find myself sitting in bed wanting to run really bad. It usually works out since he is usually still sleeping and I can slip back in bed like I never left, except with a stench telling otherwise. Tangent over. Anyway, ran 9 miles on Davis today. According to Garmin at half way I was around 7:50 pace. The way back is more downhill since the first mile is spent climbing so likely average pace of 7:40 or 3:15....that is what an older guy told me when I passed him twice (after turning around) he told me he clocked me at 3:15 pace. I laughed and told him that was a personal record for me, he was pretty excited and then I realized he wasn't joking and believed it:) Wouldn't that be cool to run that fast on an "easy run." Minus the first mile climb, that made me doubt my fitness, felt good today.
