These miles were very late and it was very dark.  I rushed to get at least something in.

Tuesday's run will be better.  I'm off to do that now, since it is, in fact, Tuesday.

I came home to start my run, and lo and behold (drum roll, please!)

 MY GARMIN ARRIVED!!

 So I tore it out of the package and it had some charge in it, so I took it out on its maiden voyage.

Avg:  8:43.  Splits:  8:55, 8:55, 8:51, 9:01 (I had to wait at a stoplight and didn't know if stopping it would get me all messed up), 8:35, 8:26, 8:33, 8:26, (and 8:16 pace for the .09).

Totally awesome.  Now I really have to figure out what it can do!

I squeezed this run in after homework.  Nothing fancy.  Cold and dark.

I joined the Insane Runner Posse this morning.  Out the door at 4:42.  It took me a while to warm up, and by the time I was warm, my run was almost over. It was in the 20s with some wind (10 mph).

I probably had time for another mile, but I wasn't sure.  I walked in the door just as the alarm that I reset for hubby went off but I still was ready a little earlier than normal (it might be because I just threw my hair into a nice, wet ponytail).

Now I'm on the verge of a busy day:  work till 3 then a 2 hour break (probably errand running time) and class from 5-10.  Class tomorrow, too.  I may run before again, depending on what time I actually get to bed. 

avg: 9:24.  9:55, 9:45, 9:19, 9:03, 8:56.

Another early morning, but now that class is over and I'm back home, I'm really glad I ran early.  I was out the door by 5:16.  I was going to do an out and back, but then as I was running, I just decided that I could deviate from my normal route (since I would still know how far I was going--can you tell I'm still excited about the garmin?).

I felt quite warm after about the second mile and the rest of the run was comfortable, but uneventful.   I don't know how cold it was, but it felt about the same as yesterday.  I added a scarf and another layer on the bottom, but I was quite comfortable.  

Avg pace:  9:12.  Splits:  9:56, 9:36, 9:06, 9:09, 9:01, 9:00, 8:56, 8:44.

 I am running a race tomorrow afternoon.  I was thinking about playing with the heart rate monitor, but I think I'll probably wait until Tuesday. 

One of my classes is now over.  I still have to do 3 assignments for the other one.  Two are due tomorrow and I haven't started yet.  I'm not too worried.
