7 miles at marathon pace. I was looking to get done in 63 minutes (9 mm). It took me 66. It probably would have happened if I had rested the day before, like I was supposed to on my schedule. However, staying up late on the 4th and recovering from the long drive home from Seattle made it too hard to get up early on Tuesday to run. So I shifted everything over a day. I didn't think it would be a problem since this is an easier "recovery" week. Although, it is more than I have been running lately. The problem I have running with Stacie is that she has a Garmin Forerunner 305 and I have a Timex Ironman--which I hate. The problem is, they disagree on how far a mile is. My watch always thinks it is a bit longer than hers does. That makes me wonder which one is right or if they are both wrong altogether and if the truth is really somewhere in between. It doesn't really matter. I used to run with Nike+ and they are both far more accurate than it ever was. I do kind of miss Paula Radcliffe chiming in at the end of each workout with, "Hello, this is Pualer again. Congratulations on running another 500 kilometers (or maybe it was miles)." I don't know at what point it broke. The congratulatory announcements used to be made by either Paula or Lance Armstrong. They also used to reflect what the device actually had told me I had run--which was only as accurate as the calibration which was never very good. I'm blaming it on Lance. I'm convinced he was cheating somehow and sneaked away before he could get caught. This left Paula holding the bag and she just started mailing in the same announcement every time.
