It took her for a spin today on a very cold 6 mile run through Lake of the Woods. It was 33 degrees with about 17mph winds - so the wind chill was about 22 degrees. Ugh. It was my first run in the cold in a looooong time. It was also my first training run in this weather wearing my Vibrams (and injinjii socks). My toes were numb for the first 2-2.5 miles, but then they warmed up and thawed out. Thankfully!! Today's run is the highest mileage I've run in the vibrams, and I'm pretty happy with them. I don't feel any more sore than when I ran in my Brooks. My step may not be as springy, but what can you do? No biggie.
It was great to meet up with my old TNT buddies - Jaymie, Randy, Kathy, and Coach Mike. A few of us went to Panera afterwards, like old times. I was really conscious of the caloric value of my meal, since I've been logging all of my calories on MyFitnessPal. Let's just say it was a good thing I ran today, cause my breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg & cheese on ciabatta bread) was 510 calories!!! But it was damn good. Pure yum. And I had a cappuccino too.
So I came home and plugged in my Garmin to upload my info and look at all of the info it gave me:

Anyway, I'm off to study like a good PA student. Happy Saturday!!

It kind of creeps me out...knowing that a watch can keep track of all that info. I guess I should be surprised though. I sell phones that have GPS and allow you to track your family & friends. That's pretty sweet though. A great tool for someone that is a runner.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast wasn't too bad. I mean...you did burn the same amount of calories when you ran. That means you should have had MORE calories for breakfast! LOL
