I should&#8217;ve known better (i.e., prep my technology just as I do prep my nutrition before walking out the front door) but I ran into these errors at the run site. It also didn&#8217;t help that my (also Garmin) heart-rate monitor failed on me &#8212; it wouldn&#8217;t send the correct heart-rate and thus, kept beeping the entire time I was out. I was at least able to depend upon my Nike+ to keep me relatively on-track in terms of distance but that eventually failed, too and I didn&#8217;t notice until like, 10 minutes after the music stopped playing! LMFAO. By that time, I had already made the half-way point and turned around.<\/p>\n<p>Here were the finer points in my training run, though:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I shaved off a good 6 1\/2 minutes with the whole refilling my water bottle and dropping a tablet of Nuun process. See my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radragon.com\/giornale\/index.php?op=ViewArticle&amp;articleId=877&amp;blogId=1\">Surf City USA race report<\/a> for that blunder. I&#8217;m still figuring out the best way to pack my Nuun into separate tablets so it&#8217;s easier to drop in the water bottle though. Opening that little tube takes a bit of effort, especially when you&#8217;re 9 miles into a run and kinda don&#8217;t have hand-eye-coordination! LOL<\/li>\n<li>Considering I had only ran 4 miles during the week, this turned out to be a great run regarding pace and effort. Then again, I don&#8217;t have the stats to back it up (did I mention my Garmin watch ran out of memory? Hahah it couldn&#8217;t even keep track of the time).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, no stats but I swear I did my 15-miler. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notes:<br \/>\nThere were to be technology-related shenanigans in this run and it started with my Garmin foot pod not properly connecting to the Forerunner 50.
