Very easy run. Average pace: 10:11. Weather (thanks to JD's recommendation of wunderground.com): 55°F, 69% humidity, wind 2 S. With motionbased.com, I was getting weather info from Centennial Airport, which is at least 10 miles from here. With wunderground.com I can get historical weather data (meaning from this morning while I was running) from a weather station that's actually very nearly on my running route! I took it very easy today because I've had a pretty intense week so far this week and I've got a long run tomorrow. I also had a hard week last week, but I decided to keep it hard this week rather than backing off because I expect to have a very easy week next week of necessity. In other news, my Garmin and I have reconciled. I sent an email to support about my inability to delete or upload courses. I got a response yesterday and and followed the recommendations in the response, which were to use the webupdater to update the chipset on my device, update Training Center, and perform a hard reset, which deletes all the user data on the device. So now my Garmin is happy and can delete and upload courses and even uploaded to Training Center this morning much more quickly than I'm used to. I guess it just needed a little TLC.
I posted this on the discussion board yesterday, but I know a lot of you don't read the discussion board. It's just something funny.
Finally, here's a picture of the hill behind my office where I ran hill sprints on Wednesday. I don't think I'll be running hill sprints there anymore because I revised my training plan and moved all of the doubles off of hill sprint days and onto harder workout days. So I won't be running to work on hill sprint days anymore. I don't know if it looks like much in the picture, but it's really a tough hill. Also, this hill, and others like it, are on the route of the local 5K that I'm tentatively planning to run on the 4th of July.
