I really like the Garmin. It is quite a tool and I've yet to figure it out completely. What I really like is the ability to know current pace speed. That is really helpful in training.
I am beginning to get some patterns developed, as in particular running routes. I am a little encouraged by my run today. Four miles with three of them in under ten minutes per mile. The roads are so extremely hilly it is either going to make me stronger of kill me!
The camber of the roads is excessive, too, so I find myself running in the middle of the road as much as possible. I hope to run a race this weekend if things allow. I am needing some speed work, and/or flat terrain to run on, I am making the best of this situation. It is not conducive to running out here in that there are some mean dogs and no loop runs, but where there are roads we can run! I want to post some pictures soon so you guys can see the beautiful spots I get to run through. Hope things are well in your neck of the woods!

CashSpring Turnaround
Well I keep on trying to get these new runs in. They are all out and backs so there is a little sense of drudgery lately.
The dogs were extra feisty today. One of the big ones was very aggressive, I was wondering what the owner is thinking as their dog is harassing an innocent runner? He was actually in the road lunging towards me with fangs bared!
The house he is from is a beautiful home, I will get a picture posted. It must be valued at 1/2 a mil. Yet they let their dogs behave this way?
I had a nice conversation with one of my new neighbors, very sweet people. I've got 30 of my 305 trees planted! I only have about ten days left to get them all planted so I'll work some more after I post this. 5.35 miles in 10:19 pace avg. I'm surprisingly slow but I'll just take it as it comes.
Our band did okay at the Rhonda Vincent deal. She was awesome! We need work. The problem is time....we need to practice and it is difficult making the time to do it. Truthfully, I'd rather run!! Peace!
