Today I did a third base run on 6.5 miles (though I am thinking my watch is exaggerating, actually I know it is, but now I think it is exaggerating even more.) Getting out of bed this morn was tough, but I did it, got dressed and poured a cup of coffee. As I hit the roads I felt like I was dragging a bit. As the run went on the dragging continued. I think I was just a bit tired from all the running this week. I actually hit the hills on my run pretty hard which felt good. I just concentrated on my legs and ignored my exhaustion (as best I could anyway.)
I found a running ap for my iphone that will track you via GPS and I was excited to try it out – imapymyrun. I was greatly disappointed when I looked at the phone at the end of my run only to see it didn’t track anything. I think the problem was either that I had it under my jacket or upside down strapped to my arm. I’m gonna try it again and see if I can get it to work. It is pretty slick, saves your routes to a website that allows you to show your runs and send them to a friend. Hopefully I won’t have to complain about it anymore.
