Speed work. I was supposed to do 2 1600 at 9 min pace.

I ended up with 9:45 and 9:59.

I"m know that I was not going to be able to get up to a 9 min pace. but I thought 10 was more doable. Not that I know what I"m doing with this b/c honestly I barely looked at my watch. It was driving me nuts b/c it looked like I was at around 11 pace. I think I have it on average pace. maybe I need to change it to real time.

I did the intervals more by feel than anything.

On a side note at the beginning of my run I saw a kid waiting for the school bus. In the area I live they started school today. So he looke MISERABLE--so in my most cheerful voice I said "First day of school, YEAH!" I know my eyes aren't that good but I know he rolled his eyes at me, but atleast he smiled as he said, "Yeah right" hahahaha

Then when I was walking my dogs I saw a lady roller blading. I had to ask her if they hurt her feet. Whenever I rollerbladed the vibrations from the street would kill my feet. She said she had the same problem so she tried to stick to the side walk.

The "Pace"(real time) setting jumps all over the place and is impossible to pace yourself with. "Pace-Average" is too slow to update if you run more than one lap. Try setting your garmin to "auto lap" every mile or maybe every half mile and then set the screen to display "Pace-Lap". It makes it much easier to keep things steady.

I have nothing to say about you harassing people on your run.
