I couldn't find my Garmin this morning.  Bummer because it felt like a great run.  I'm pretty sure I was cruising along at under 8 min. miles.  My daughter had put it on the book shelf so that the baby wouldn't get hold of it.

I'm facebook friends with the rocket. She's still around, but hasn't been blogging. She promises she'll get caught up one of these days.

From allie on Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 19:44:10 from 98.202.24.36

no worries about the garmin. i clocked you from the bushes and you were going about 4:47 pace for the last 3 miles or so.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 19:58:10 from 206.19.214.144

Sam - who you calling Freddie Mercury. My wife and I are much better than him. He's like a total loser and we are the champions.

Teena - thanks!

Vinh - no doubt. And thank goodness for my stalker friend allie for getting an accurate pace for me. LOL!

Hey I love Freddie Mercury ;-)

From Burt on Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 09:56:02 from 98.177.216.165

Sam - I'm not sure the feeling is mutual.

From KP on Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 20:48:04 from 98.67.109.192

Sadly, I am worthless without my garmin. It is the motivation I need to keep truckin' along. I know I need to run without it sometimes. I just keep coming back to it. The darn thing is addictive!

I couldn't find my Garmin this morning either.
