6 Miles!!!

Guess what crapped out again?? I'll give you a hint....it wasn't me. Darn Garmin. I was running along doing very well, if I do say so myself. I had gone to where the Garmin said 2.96 miles and I turned around. It was about 34 minutes in, so I was pretty sure it was very close to 3 miles. I then ran back toward home. When I came up a hill it said I was getting close to 5 miles, which is the 8k distance that I want to do in under 54 minutes. It said 4.8 miles 55 minutes, so I was so excited. I have about 6 weeks to get a little faster!!

But then....it made this weird beep and I looked and it said 4.0 miles so I was all bummed, then about few seconds later it beeped again and the little pop-up guy said it had lost satellite connection. So boo.

Luckily I had my HRM on, so I know that I ran 1 hour, 10 minutes and 55 seconds. I also know that I burned 527 calories. Yeah! Then I grabbed Maddie and we drove the course and it was 6 miles afterall. YEAH!!!

So I ran 6 miles in 71:55. I think that is AWESOME. And the better part is that I wasn't dead. I could have kept going. My legs were tired and my knees were a bit sore, but all in all I felt very good.

I wonder if the airport has anything to do with the Garmin troubles?? I was no where near tress and there aren't any clouds today... I did run right up next to the runway, though, so maybe that messed with it? It was so cool though, two little planes took off over me and they were so close!!

Anyway, for the weekend record: Pump & Pilate's Saturday; 6 mile run Sunday.
California in 5 days!!!
