Normally, Thursdays are my hardest days of the week. I am tired and run down and exhausted both physically and mentally. I woke up today ready to go. I was shocked! We headed out and there was not even a breeze. I cannot remember when the last time the air was still. I was shocked again! We had a good run. We ran the same route that I ran on Tuesday. I had distance issues again with the Nike+ and this time it was short. I still counted what it said, but I have figured out where it gets off on this route. There are a couple of large water towers and I am not sure if they mess up the signal or what. But both times the differences came began around the same spot.

I also realized today, how much time we waste at stop lights. Total running time was 1 hr 2 min. From the time I left my house and came back was almost 1 hr 10 min.

 I spoke to my husband about the distance thing and he said that it was probably user error.  He is probably right.

 

Happy Running!

Jody, great dedication. Is 2008 going to be the year for that marathon? Have you thought about running the striders series in prepartion for the Ogden marathon, twist the arm of your training partner?

bye bye B of BS Rools

Brent,

I think 2008 just might be the marathon year. I really would like to run St. George - but after seeing everyone lose out on Moab I am a little nervous. I am also thinking about the Deseret News so that I can support my husband - and I can run for free.

I do not know much about the Strider series - where can I find out more info?

Thanks for all the support!

Jody, check it out, 2008 winter running series. There are going to be several bloggers running the races. The striders half marathon, Lybi is coming to run is part of the series. You get a cheaper rate if you sign up early. You can do it!

User error- too funny. Sounds like something my hubby would say. I have this new Garmin, unfortunately it doesn't work itself!! You mean I have to figure it out?! Ha ha.. EXCELLENT job on another 7 miles today!!!

I think that there is no way that it is "user" error, if you would have been blogging when I first got mine you would have seen that it took me five miles to even calitbrate the darn thing correctly and that was NOT "user" error...well maybe?

You are totally a trooper, way to set the bar for me day after day!! Oh and I don't envy all those darn stop lights and things you deal with daily, some one could really get hurt if they are not paying attention! Luckily you must be used to that by now! (he,he!!)
