12/24/06: 15 Mile Run + 2 Mile Walk:Demopolis, AL

This was supposed to be a 17 mile run. I used the Timex/Garwin Time and Distance system again. This time it screwed up again due to user error. You can't just turn on the GPS unit, put the watch on, set it to Chronograph, and press start. OK, I know you would think so, but no. You have to set to see one of the various readings that would require the GPS for the watch to know that you wish to use the GPS too. But, given yesterday's performance, I had measured the route with a car as a backup. So, no big deal. It did irritate me

As for the run, I listened to the random selections from the Creative Zen. I ran well for the first 8-9 miles. At which point, I started feeling some soreness in my quads. I made it to 15 miles and just couldn't push my legs to run anymore. So, I walked the last 2 miles. I am disappointed but in the grand scheme with the pneumonia and all, I am fairly pleased. I think I will try 17 again next weekend and if I get it in consider it good.
