Frustrating long run Sunday.

So Sunday I was all psyched to run and get into the double digits for the long run. I watched the great Hockey game between the U.S. and Canada. And I was all ready to go. I took my wonderful Garmin 305 running watch off of the charger and . . . nothing. Tried to hold down the power button . . . nothing. Held multiple buttons at the same time . . . nothing. So after some frustration I turned on the useless "running gypsy" program on my iphone and headed out. If nothing else I knew it would keep time for me even if the iphone's GPS is spotty at best.

The run went pretty well and I was out for an hour and 32 minutes. I am pretty sure it was a 10 mile route give or take a quarter mile. I will run the same route on Sunday and see just how close my guess is.

After the run I discovered a new development. Blisters. Oh joy. So on Monday I bought some new socks. I also bought some GU energy chews for the long runs. I also want to check out my hydration options as we get into warmer weather and the runs get longer.

Tuesday weigh in: 161.5
