What a wonderful 68 degrees this morning. A pleasant surprise, although I foolishly convinced myself that a long-sleeved shirt would be appropriate. I was hot well before the end of my first mile.
Yesterday’s schedule called for a tempo run. I missed yesterday’s run because I forgot it was Tuesday due to the whole Labor Day weekend. Oh well. This morning I headed out for my tempo with two goals in mind 1) calibrate my nano during my warm-up mile and 2) smash the fucking thing if it doesn’t work.
It worked, thanks to Chris for cluing me in on the upside down sensor. I finished four miles in forty minutes – with the twenty minutes of the middle as tempo. Average tempo pace was 9 minutes per mile.
Does this mean I get to skip yoga today?
Glad you got it working. 9 min/mile…not bad, mrs. fast pants!
Skip yoga if you want to – I’d say you’ve earned it.
Glad to hear that the Nano is behaving itself today. I know when mine was acting up, it was *really* annoying.
I love the Nike/Nano, glad yours is working now!
No 🙂
good job susan…haven’t visit your blog for a while…oh got a new toy i see.
Now that you have it all figured out, I can just get mine and use it without all the problems. Thanks!! Speedy run, too:)
i recently discovered your blog after signing up w/ breakingthetape. i’m a fort worth runner. glad to hear you’re putting in the miles on the other side of the trinity river. and glad to hear your nano is working.
I’m not entirely sure it means you get to skip yoga but it does mean you are very speedy! Congrats on taming your toy.
If you skip yoga today you have to walk around the house naked all day tomorrow. So you choose.
Oh yes, you definitely get to skip yoga now!
FoRS… Fan of RunnerSusan. Pronounced FORCE, natch.
if you don’t want your iPod, give to me. Seems when Mark picked me up i got all my bags inside the car except for the strap that had the ipod on it. it still works, but as i’ve broken them on treadmills and in a cycling accident, i’m the one to go to when you want an excuse to get a new one.
go to yoga. feel the pain. relax at the end. and enjoy the phart that eeks out in child pose.
wouldn’t erich be disappointed?
9 minutes per mile earns you an avocado treat.
you never get to stop doing yoga, don’t even think it.
skip it! skip it good! na na na na na skip that yoga *pause* give it a miss … i said skip it …..
(tune of “whip it” by devo)
Skip it!! You deserve it.
Well, by now it’s too late to vote so I’ll wait to read what you did. My guess is that you did the yoga too. I’m glad that you have your nano worked out.
