Another 8 Miler

Legs feeling pretty good today (despite running almost 30 miles over the weekend), so I decided on another 8 mile run tonight. Just over a mile into the run the battery decided to die on my Garmin 305, so I ended up retracing the same course as yesterday to make sure I did in fact run 8 miles. It’s funny how dependent I’ve become on the Garmin for providing instant feedback with regard to distance and speed when I’m running – one glance down at my wrist and all the data is there for immediate review.

Once back at the house I checked the time on my computer, and discovered I’d run a couple of minutes quicker than yesterday. Obviously I’ve no idea of splits or specific heart rate data and to be honest it actually made a pleasant change running free without a watch or GPS device.

So, good start to the week and a solid 8 miles in the bank. Legs still feeling fine too….
