Wow, that was a craptacular end to a run. I bombed out big time in the last two miles, ugh. Finally told Charlie (whom I was running with) to just go ahead for the last half mile or so. Talk about running out of gas and overheating, big time. Oh well.

I haven’t set up my watch to do mile splits yet. I used to be such a technology wizard, but now I’m a late adopter helpless sort. I guess that’s what being a practicing attorney does to a man …
There’s nothing quite like having to re-learn how to use new watches… In my (older and more antiquated than yours) Forerunner 301 there’s a menu that has an “auto lap” function where you can tell it to lap at every mile. Hopefully there’s something easy to find on the 305!
(Although for this run I actually used my old normal watch. It helped that it’s exactly two miles from my home to where marker 10.5 would be for the Cap Crescent Trail (34th St & Water St) so I just marked them off the old fashioned way. Fortunately the missing 7.0 marker wasn’t needed!)
