| Easy run. 6.5 miles in 59:58. 9:12 AP.
9:26 for mile 1 down to 8:58 for mile 6. Strides and drills for the last .5.
I finally got my new GPS watch to work correctly. It's the Timex Run x20. It sucked picking up the GPS location the first 4 times I went out. I finally got it to work in the backyard...after 40 seconds. The Garmin 25 I bought and returned found a GPS in about 10 seconds, so I was getting really frustrated with this Timex one. Luckily, it worked and I'm confident it will in the future.
The other odd/bad feature is that the distance might be off. It quoted me about 50-100 meters off of 1 mile as measured by the google pedometer website. I have no way of knowing which one is more accurate, so I'll have to look into it more.

| Long Progression Run. 8.1 miles in ~70 mins. 8:38 AP.
Started at an easy 10 min mile (with drills), then 9:30, 9:00, 8:30, 8:00 (my watch died here), 7:30, 8:45, 9:30.
Longest run in the past few months. My legs and lungs felt strong the last 2 miles, which is promising even though I backed off. This was also my highest weekly mileage (26 mi) in the past few months, too. I'm really trying to avoid injury.

This one was suuuper hard for some reason. My calves cramped and hurt and my whole body felt heavy. Wonder why. It's not like we just celebreated a holiday by feasting on huge amounts of food for days and days.
