The two-hour mile

I know I'm slow, but this is ridiculous!

Well, OK, what really happened is that my Garmin unit decided to reset its distance counter towards the end of what was in fact a ten-mile distance this morning. However, the timer kept right on going.

Maybe a shiny new ForeRunner 301 isn't such a bad idea for a birthday gift to self this year.

Still, it is funny to see myself credited for 1.07 mi for 2:11:41 effort. I guess it didn't want me to get conceited about my fitness progress or something.

The 199 special . . . enjoy it while it lasts!

I had just gotten home from a quick sunset three-miler down the neighborhood boulevard and back. After showering off, I decided to step on the scale.

I looked at the readout, then stepped off.

I stepped on the scale a second time, looked at the readout again, shook my head, then stepped off.

Thinking that gravity was malfunctioning in that spot in the bathroom, I moved the scale to a different spot, and stepped on for a third time. I knew I had to snap a picture to really believe this:

First, I apologize for having ugly feet.

Second, I realize that was the result of mostly sweat loss, and I bounced right back to 202 pounds after rehydrating and eating dinner. But I honestly cannot recollect the last time I saw my weight in pounds start with a "1" in any circumstance. Maybe it was as a high school underclassman????

Weekend in Corpus Christi. The call of the surf was stronger than the call of the streets!
