So yesterday I decided to take the day off when I woke up on a Monday and was sore from head to toe. I also downloaded another pretty cool app for my phone called six week training that helps with upper body strength training which is why all of me was sore. When the alarm went off yesterday I realized that I had not taken a day off in a week so I decided the hour of sleep was much more worth it. This morning I told myself that I was going to add some more distance to my run today. If you recall I started into my 7th lap around the neighborhood on Friday but didn't get all that far. Today I woke up feeling refreshed and decided I was not going to TRY and do seven laps around the block I was going to DO seven laps around the block. As it turns out that is exactly what I did and I was pretty darn excited that I could. One thing I was disappointed about was my run tracker app. Here is how it has gone the last few times I have tried to use it. Saturday it would not find me on GPS, Sunday it found me right away and then dropped me before I was done with the first lap and today it never found me. I was hoping that I could get away with using the app rather than buying a runners watch but it does not look like that is going to happen. The good thing is the Garmin watches allow you to upload their data to the runkeeper site so I can enter my runs and tracking that way. As you can see I ran almost 4 miles today and I never stopped for a walking break the entire time. When you look at the picture ignore the pace and calories burned since I had to manually enter my run again and I did the math wrong on the time it took me to do it. It takes so long to enter the run manually I didn't want to have to do it again. Take note of the distance that is the important thing. Tomorrow I know I will have some stiff legs so I will not be doing any running but I will get up and walk 5 laps around the block. Here is hoping that the runkeeper app will track me tomorrow but I guess we will just have to wait and see. At least I have a birthday coming up so I can ask for the Garmin Forerunner 110 and see if anyone gets it for me. Here is hoping!!!!
