C25K - W2 D1, D2; Vermont; Garmin Woes

Spent two days Vermont! And even went out to continue C25K despite the ice cream and quesadillas, the make-your-own-Belgian-Waffles, and the ice cream (did I mention the ice cream?).

Weather was cloudy/rainy the whole coupla days. Garmin did not find the satellite until--wouldn't you know it--just after I hit the "Stop" button. Whatever. And going out, I even ran up a slight hill (I usually don't do hills, my town is super flat), which made the return trip DOWN the hill a breeze. What a beautiful state, breathtaking.

So C25K W2D1: Distance about 1.43 miles; time, about 18 min.
and today, back home, I just did C25K W2D2. Same approx distance, same approx time. Felt good today, humidity and all.

OH, and I just got a new pair of running shoes today! Basically the same model as the old ones, wow, they are cushier. My old ones had about 450 miles on them, guess it was time.

Garmin issues, hmmmm. I broke the cardinal rule of updating software when stuff isn't broken...I signed up for the free Motion Based, where your Garmin just uploads your data to a website (I just liked the map feature, you could map your runs a la google maps, I am a sucker for a good map). It made me download some sort of Motion Based software, which said my Garmin software needed to be updated, so I did. And now, I can't get my data off my Garmin, the error message says Garmin Trainer is having trouble "connecting to the device." It makes that little ding ding noise when I plug Garmin into the USB port, so I know it's connected. I "restored" my system to pre-software updates, but no avail. So I'll start googling and try to figure this out, grrrrr. Technology, can't live with it, can't live without it.

C25K - Week 1 In the Books

Love the Ullrey podcast, did I mention that??

Forgot to turn on Garmin for first interval, the stats are a rough estimate. No problems this go round. Yay, looking forward to Week 2 and feeling good about getting Week 1 under my belt.

The fam is heading off to Vermont for two days next week. My first real test of juggling runs and kids and unfamiliar surroundings, looking forward to it! And oh, the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory...:-)
