I ran intervals this evening; I was planning to do three intervals of one mile each at six and a half MPH, but in reality what I did was more like this:
Interval one = 1 mile at six and a half MPH.
Interval two = .6 mile at six and a half MPH.
For some reason, at about the half mile point I started occasionally kicking my left ankle bone and it began to get pretty sore. I tolerated it for awhile, but then I started worrying that I would fall on the treadmill, so I slowed it down.
My third interval was a little slower and I only ran half a mile. I added a forth interval that was a little slower yet, and the distance was a little less.
In total I ran about three and a half miles.
After dunking my Garmin in the Barton Creek during my last run it has not been working, so I don't have a heart rate graph to display.
About a year ago I fell while trying to cross Barton Creek and the watch got soaked, like this time. That time it took about a week for it to dry out and start working again, and I sure hope it starts working better again this time. I have gotten so I depend on it to set my pace, and I have a race which I have been training for all spring coming up this weekend.
I was checking the warranty on the watch and it is for one year only, and of course I have now owned the watch for one year and two weeks. If it does not start working this weekend, I will have to work something out -- or maybe I will get the new Garmin Forerunner 405. I bet that baby wouldn't have trouble taking a dip in Barton Creek!
