For Marion's benefit alone, I wore the Garmin-- which I have not used in a few months (according to the history setting-- 5 miles on November 26th). Anyway, I got to run this morning with the famously friendly and lovely Marion!  I haven't run more than 8 miles in a while, so I brought the Garmin to gauge it.  I never can tell how far I'm going when I don't give myself a time limit or care about the M/M.  It was so fun to chat up Marion.  She now knows my life story, and I know she likes Golden Retreivers.  Not exactly a fair exchange (looks like I need to get out of the house more often).  I thought we we'rent going to get in enough miles going my regular route, so I had us double up on one segment of the trail and by the time we'd turned around we'd already done the 9 we were supposed to be running.  So we ended doing 11.18 oops.  Never run with me if you actually care about mileage, or speed. There is a reason I have not kept track using my Garmin since my hip gave out and this is it, but I told Marion I'd post for her sake:

   10:10/10:18/10:28/11:09/11:06/11:49/11:01/12:23/11:49/11:50/13:01 and 12:/58 for .50

But the Garmin guaged I'd used over 1,000 calories-- at least all that ice cream I ate yesterday didn't go to waste.....:)  Thank you Marion!  Let me know when we can trek again in some fabulous new location.
