10.5 Mile Run: Brownell Circle

Well, the Garwin/Timex worked today and I finally got an accurate measure of the loop. It is not 11 miles (darn, that means all those runs are even slower then I thought). But, it is good to have the watch and GPS working again. I listened to the rest of the 2 Black Eyed Pea CDs I purchased. I sure don't regret buying them. Good stuff.

As to the run, well I fell asleep before eating supper and the wife said I wouldn't get up. It is all due to my 2 1/2 year old son wanting to cuddle. He fell asleep and I couldn't help but follow. So, when I woke up and it was time to run, I went for it. Before running, I thought I should probably shoot for 9 miles and not 11 miles (ok, 10.5 miles). But, my ego and the desire to measure the distance got in the way and I went for the longer run. Unfortunately, I started dying at about 8 miles. So, I walked-ran the last 1.5 miles as can be seen by my pace and time below. I feel confident that I will my fitness back to the level where this is run is not so challenging and my pace returns to where it was 6 months ago.

Data:

Distance: 10.54 (according to the GPS)
Time: 1:53:26
Average heart rate: Not measured
Pace: 10:45
