My view during our run tonight. He is soooo going to kick my butt!! :)
I used the gps on the phone tonight to map our run, except I didnt realize when you lock the phone, you essentially pause the application. So, we are missing almost half a mile on our totals - and it was a pretty fast, kick butt half mile too. However, I knew there would be a learning curve. Also, I'm a bit spoiled with the garmin - this thing doesn't give me splits or anything! Just total distance, total time, and a very nice map of our route. The website leaves much to be desired, do I have any room to complain? I mean, it is a free app and I dont have to take additional gadgets with me on the run. Decisions decisions. My garmin only works part of the time. So, its really not a lot better. Magda has me wanting an upgrade now because her 405 is super cool and garmin's web interface that connects with it is NICE.
So here I am, rambling on about gadgets when Boy cares nothing about them and this is essentially his training journal. So, here goes.
We took off right before dark, before dinnertime. Boy got a new pair of headphones today - that SUCK. sigh. He left me in the dust for the first 1.5 mi or so (picture above) but once we got off the dirt he slowed down to a walk until I caught up with him. He stretched his calves and said he had cramps and for me to go ahead. I got another mile out of him before we called it quits.
It was a nice run, the temp is lower at 82 degrees and the humidity is low - feels like 85. The winds were kickin though! 14mph East winds - and you could definitely *feel* when you were heading east! Whew! Love that feeling (for short periods of time, of course!).
We ended up walking on the path behind the house for a cooldown and chatted about the his crappy head phones, the state of the Amenity center, and a country who's total land area is 1 sq. mile. :)
