Techno-Dufus

Wheezed by KBT |

I had a great run this morning, and I don’t have the stats to prove it. Grrrr.

Instead of hitting "lap” on my Garmin when I started running, I hit stop. I didn’t realize it until … awhile … later when I snuck a peek at the pace, which I hardly ever do, and noticed that the time reader wasn’t changing. Turned it back on but now it’s played “connect the dots” and the mileage is off.

However, I mapped the distance and I ran 2.4 miles. Wow. WOW! The few times I glanced at the pace it was in the 13mm range; my normal average tends to be around 14:10, so I’m just gonna call it 14, which means I ran for about 34 minutes. After that the Garmin stats kick in, so I walked for two minutes (that was up a hill when my inner 3-year-old took over) and then ran another five to show the 3-year-old who’s boss.

FORTY minutes of running. Seven weeks ago I wanted to die every 60 second interval and today I ran for 40 minutes, give or take.

I didn’t really need the Garmin to tell me I rocked it today.
