My Garmin has been having a hard time these past two runs (maybe because of the HR monitor). The Garmin map of where I ran is way off.  And I know that my first mile couldn't be 9:11....I live at the bottom of a huge hill!!  I know this run is only 5.3 miles (not 5.6).  I need to do some internet research to fix it!!

Light dusting of snow and slippery in some spots.  12 degrees.
