Garmin woes

Funny how you get attached to the Garmin. For some reason mine decided to act up? First time that really I've had a problem. Couldn't get it to charge up? Well all is now well and it's charging, finally! So I had to guess at distance but not time...34 minutes, felt good! I was even thinking about pushing the pace! Maybe tomorrow! It is really looking beautiful out here, the Dogwood trees are in full bloom! I sure love the idea of Summer coming up!:) Peace!

Getting a pattern

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!
