The cooler weather must be effing up my Garmin because I stood outside waiting this afternoon for a signal for nearly a full 5 minutes. When I still didn't have satellite reception after that long, I decided to screw it, and I just used the stopwatch feature to time the run; besides, I know my 3 miler like the back of my hand, so I don't need the Garmin to help me calculate the distance. However, without its actually "Garmin-y" features for the run, I couldn't calculate my exact pace (well, I could but that would involve a lot of numbers and I'm allergic to math) and I don't have splits.
So, I only gots one number: I did the 3 miles in 27:14, which is an average pace of 9:00/miles. Sweet. This cooler, drier weather makes the running SO much easier: It's easier to breathe, I barely sweat, I feel cool, and I don't tire as easily. It's glorious!
We dont have humididy here anywhere like you do - but I learned last year to really appreciate the cooler weather. In fact, I enjoyed running in the snow even ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your cool-dry weather...
ReplyDeleteGreat run!
Nice 3-miler!!
ReplyDeleteDo you get tired of running the same route over and over? I have several different routes for each distance and mix it up constantly.
Nice job on the run. I went out for what I thought would have been a 3 miler, but being new to the area, I was only able to log 2.92 miles. If I would have known, I would have done an extra run around the block!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really nice run. :)
ReplyDeleteBefore we moved, I had this route that I would run like three times a week. Same route, every week. Sometimes it would drag, but other times, the familiarity of it was like a big hug of encouragement to keep me going. I miss that run.
Nice run! I love the speed that comes with cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteMay-December was another way of me saying my husband is much older than myself...
ReplyDeleteGreat run! I love fall for that very same reason. You don't feel like you're breathing with a wet washcloth on your face the entire time.
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! so glad to hear we are sending you some cool air down there. It's amazing how much easier it is to run in the cooler weather. I never realized how much living in Florida was holding me back! Haha.
ReplyDeleteOf course there is a flip side. It's SNOWING like 20 miles from my house. EFF that!
My Garmin has been misbehaving as well!! It even clocked me at a 5 min mile! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the weather is cooling down for you guys. You had a nasty summer.
ReplyDeleteYea, my Garmin does that too sometimes. It's like, to hell with this, I'm outta here... I got the Garmin 50, and I'm seriously considering the footpod just for that reason.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the 3 mile run!! It's hard to run "naked" when you're used to having the data at your beck and call.
ReplyDeleteThat would be 9.04...
ReplyDeleteI too have had the Gramin like issues you spoke of. There are too things I do to combat this:
1) If my route begins at my home, I set the Garmin out on the porch while I am getting ready so it can find satellites.
2) If I am travelling to a park or somewhere, about five minutes or so out, I turn the Garmin on and set it on the dashboard.
How about some snow? You want that? :P
ReplyDeleteGood job on the run chica!
YAY i am also loving the cooler temps :) great job on the run!!
ReplyDeleteI do like Jamoosh and turn the thing on several minutes before I head out the door.
ReplyDelete*adding Florida to the list of winter escapes*
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great run and great weather. I am jealous!
You do not do math, I do not do works. I am glad that you had a good run and felt goodly about it.
