I got back Thursday evening from several days in Chicago. I didn’t have Internet access, but I did run.  The running wasn’t the best quality – it was on a treadmill. I hate treadmills.  I did speed work and an easy run.  I brought clothes to run outside at a local park but we got lots of snow so that wasn’t going to happen.  I hate treadmills.  My shins also starting hurting again so I think maybe the treadmills are a cause of shin pain.  I hate treadmills.  More later!

I couldn’t resist posting this picture even though its not Foto Friday. This was mapped on my “long run” this past Saturday. I obviously am not able to walk, let alone run on the river – although the river is mostly frozen over. I was running alongside the river. This is a screenshot from the Garmin Training Center. Both Sporttracks and Motionbased placed me alongside the river. This leads to the question – why can’t Garmin’s software be really accurate?

Although I guess if Garmin’s niche is just the GPS equipment then they have accomplished Jim Collin’s Good to Great Hedgehog Concept pretty well!

Just thought I would let you share in the humor! I’m at a national training for work this week in Chicago – at the Airport Marriott. If you know the Marriott then you know they charge an arm and a leg for Internet access (and their rooms!) So I’m not sure how much posting I’ll be able to do!
