08.06.09 swim attempt/turned into a run

met T for a swim at 8:30pm. we both agreed that swimming in the evening felt better than an early morning swim. just as we were about to get in the water the heat lightening stuck again. DANG IT! swim cancelled.

went home & settled for a 5K run. took Scott's ipod (which weighs a ton) and left on my run without anything to track my pace. i soon realized that ive become a runner that depends on electronics. when did this occur? i ran a good pace, i think. it felt like 27:00 minutes judging on past runs. i returned home with a plead for my own ipod, that isn't as big as a pc, and a watch to track my pace. i mistreated my last ipod when i got caught in the rain running and my Garmin, which wasn't even a year old, died on me before i ever correctly calibrated it. Dear husband, I promise to be more responsible with my next piece of equipment....HELP!

  1. I am about to pee my pants laughing. Why can't you take care of your electronic goodies? I know exactly how you feel, when I race I feel like I have no idea what is going on. I use my Ipod and Nike+ all the time when I run and with the push of a button get my pace and distance. I love the electronics and T has the ultimate piece with that new Garmin. I am so jealous.
