The Chances

I was successful waking up early this morning! I was actually able to eat breakfast and get out the door by 6am. My first long run in, well, a long time. More than a month. I blame the Whitney prep, because instead of doing long runs on Saturdays I was either hiking or backpacking. One became more important than the other for what I was wanting to do.

Anyway, here's the Garmin:



13.3 miles! The longest I've ever run. I felt really good most of the time, but the last mile and half was HARD. Holy cow, my thighs were on fire. I ended up walking a little bit (2 or 3 minutes).



There's also a version of this on MotionBased

Here's something interesting: the applet for uploading data from devices on Garmin Connect has been switched from ActiveX to Flash, and the Flash plugin doesn't support the 305 any longer! It says, "Garmin Connect does not currently support this device." So it sounds like that's why you were unable to upload your runs to Garmin Connect, they changed it.

I stopped twice along the way, once to give directions to a lost truck driver, the other at the midway point to eat some Powerbar Gel. 2:30.40, average pace 11:19/mi. Average heart rate 150, 1684 calories burned.
