Happy Friday to all my fellow Runner Friends!!!
Today was the day I needed to run my speed test for my Running Coach to set paces for my training. I have to brag on myself if you all don't mind. I had to do a 1 mile warm-up, 2 mile speed test and 1 mile cool down. Weather was 32 degree with little wind, also had to watch for ice. I was chilly but it had to be done today...
Did my 1 mile warm up and I was ready to go. I just started running, I did map out 2 miles so I would not look at the Garmin. I felt great, but I did have to talk to myself a little. When I saw the end I picked up the pace. Yea finished, now to look at the Garmin. WOW 18:43.... I did not know I could do that. I think that's a PR... I finished with my 1 mile cool down with a smile on my face.
I don't know about you, but I always look at my Garmin and try to maintain the pace I want to run my Half in, doesn't matter the distance. Guess I should quit looking at the darn thing and just run. I have a lot to learn about pacing...
Have a Fabulous Weekend Runners. I am off to a GREAT start!
Do you run with a Garmin or other training device?
How do you train with your device?

I use to use a nike foot pod that went to the nano ipod. I just got a Garmin. Haven't be able to use it yet, because of all the snow and cold. Hoping to get out tomorrow. The temps are suppose to be in the 30's. I sure hope the Garmin is easy to use. Have a good weekend.
Howdy, thanks for your comment on my Blog. And your great fashion tip. I'll look for a nice running skirt at the Expo tomorrow :-)
Great job!! I have a Garmin, and compulsively check it... Hard to believe I never ran with it, and now I can't imagine running without one!
Keep up the good work. By the way I am tagging you with an award.
Hi Kittee!! I LOVE my Garmin and feel naked without it--so nice to know your real pace and how it corresponds to your "feel"!
