So I planned to get up and run early this morning. I ended up sleeping in a little later than I had anticipated. Obviously I needed it. It was raining all morning so I decided to do a treadmill run. Mom and Dad gave me a footpod for the Garmin for Christmas, so I decided to give it a go on the treadmill. I need to calibrate it because it reported a significantly different speed and distance than the treadmill. It recommends calibrating on a track (specifically the inside lane) but since I don't have one of those handy, I will do a GPS calibration tomorrow, weather permitting.
Anyway, I did 2.5 miles on the treadmill at a speed of 6.0 mph. That's a 10:00 minute per mile pace. I watched a podcast while I did it, and it seemed to make the time go by a little better. Unfortunately I kept hitting the earphone cord with my hands and that was annoying.
Not a bad first run of the new year. If the weather is good, I'd like to do my long run outside. It is a six-miler. It will be the last long run before the Half. I can't believe it is less than a week away!
