4 Miles Plus ?

First let me say, Yeah!!! DH is home.  I was so happy to see him I cried.  Yes that is right, cried.  The relief I felt as soon as he walk in was too much.  After I calmed down I promptly handed off the kids and put my running shoes on.  See Ya!

Out the door I went and walked up the hill for my warm up and then started to run.  It felt so good!!!  It is a cool and partly sunny day, perfect.

After just over a mile, I looked at my GPS.  Now my GPS is an app on my phone.  This is the second one I am trying.  The first one I used had me running 141 miles in 48 minutes.  No I didn't type it wrong, that is what it said after a slow but steady 4 mile run.  Ok, that one is gone.

On to app number two.  It worked great the first time.  The second time I ran with it, it said I went .53 miles in 30 minutes.  Now I know I am slow, but come on!  And that brings me to today.

Todays, run was awesome.  I needed and wanted it and nothing was stopping me.  I felt good, my knee feels good and the music was great!  After about a mile and a half, I checked my GPS and saw that it said 0 miles.  I was soooo mad.  It took everything I had to not throw it and smash it into the road.  Ok, back to running.

I did a route that I had done before so I know that it was 4 miles, but the ? is because I started running a little before my usual start.  I am guessing it was about .25.  All in all, it was the best run I had in a long time and I am thankful that I was able to get it in before all the company and excitement.

So, Santa, if you are reading this, please, please bring me a Garmin GPS running watch.  I promise I will be good and I made your favorite cookies.  Thank you, have a safe flight.

I hope all your runs this weekend are good and I hope you get everything you asked for.

Run strong, think big!
