10 Mile Easy Run

I ran 10 miles today. Daniel, and his wife Andrea ran with me for the first 6 miles. Andrea's mom joined us for several miles. It was a beautiful run, the sky was clear, the temperature about 60 with very little wind. We ran at about a 12 to 12.5 mile pace. You can check out the GPS track here.

For the run today I set up my Garmin for 2 hours and doing 10 miles. Next weekend, or the next long run, I want to set it up for 12 miles taking 2:30 hours.

Next weekend will have a lot of activities:

1. Wurst Bike Ride in Gruere. (Saturday)
   
2. Komen Austin Race for the Cure (Sunday)
   

I have not signed up for either event so I have to figure out which ones I want to do and sign up.

I got off to a rocky start. I set the alarm for 5 AM, about 5:45 I woke up and checked the alarm to see what time it was. A dialog was on the screen stating that the clock had changed to standard time the dialog said I was to check the time and verify it was correct. That seems like a pretty dumb thing to do, have you check it to verify the time is correct especially blocking the alarm. The algorithm for changing the time is well known. Most computers do it automatically, I use my cell phone as my alarm clock so it is well connected and Microsoft could send updates to it or have it check the local time on the network.

It turns out we don't change to standard time for several weeks. So I will have to go through another change here in a couple of weeks. It sure caused a lot of confusion this morning.
Perhaps I should get a real alarm clock, it has failed twice now. For the last 4 or 5 years I have used the alarm clock on my cell phone and they have got me up at the correct time. Even when changing to daylight savings time.
