Quality Control





Again, it rained last night. Actually, the thunderstorm felt very end-of-the-earth biblical, which explains why this morning the temperature was 78 degrees and felt comfortable for the first time in...months. I love the desert after it rains, and I defy anyone to find a better smell than the desert after a rainstorm. I ran 3 miles today in 29:05 and thought I'd turn it into a Fartlek. I inserted two segments where I upped the tempo for about a half of a mile. This was a very disappointing experience when it became apparent to me that my "up-tempo" pace was about an 8 minute mile pace. LOLOLOLOL.


Quality Control:

I know Timex runs their Ironman watches through some form of quality control, but those little machines can't possibly simulate the torture that Shannon (my 2 1/2 year old daugther) can create. She got her paws on my watch the other morning and, well you can probably guess what happened. Long story short, the next morning I put my watch on my wrist and was greeted by a blank screen. Not good. I changed the battery to see if that helps, but I have a feeling that there are bigger issues that need to be addressed.


Now get back to work
