I ran 5 miles this morning. I thought it was a good start to the week. According to my Garmin 110, I ran 5.02 miles in 51:53. I had an average pace of 10:20 and an average moving pace of 10:10. I also had an elevation gain of 135 feet and an elevation loss of 157 feet. And to top it all off a ran the first mile in 9:50, the second in 9:46, the third in 10:35, the fourth in 10:39 and the fifth in 10:48. If you can't tell, this is the first time I've actually downloaded the information from my Garmin onto my computer. Had I know it would tell me all this information, I may have done it sooner. It's really kind of great to have all this knowledge at my wrist!
The run in and of itself was nice. It was my typical loop from home to the mall, where I ran to the Lincoln Memorial and then to the Washington Monument. The only downside was that the tourists were out in full swing, or so it felt. I was dodging tourists from the White House and all through the Mall. I wish someone would hand tourists a flyer entitled, "How to Walk and Gawk at the Same Time." Included in this list would be don't take up the entire sidewalk, don't take up the entire sidewalk when taking a picture unless you want a runner/biker or other tourists to go between you and your subject, don't stop abruptly, hang onto your little ones, and if someone says "passing on your left/right," don't move in that direction!
