It's not a good thing. But my problem is {or is it a problem?} that I don't know a good time vs. a bad time. I gather my time is probably not the best {hence my expression of herd of worms to write of my running}. I will probably never be fast - I'm not built for speed. I'm ok with that. It's the journey that matters. Although I wish I wouldn't watch my watch all the time.S Club Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061586966925524808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528976842290078378.post-65205748926895409202010-04-17T21:04:43.880-07:002010-04-17T21:04:43.880-07:00I'm garminless too and am using Daily Mile to ...I'm garminless too and am using Daily Mile to map my runs (I like it better than Mapmyrun). However, I'm thinking that I should invest in a garmin as it might help bring down my time a bit.

I just like to know my pace at all times...a bit obsessive I know. I run without it when I am just in the mood to get out for a run and relax. It is definitely a nice change when I run without it.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508678801078330932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528976842290078378.post-12573933117638793802010-04-17T17:52:00.900-07:002010-04-17T17:52:00.900-07:00I'm currently Garmin-less and am experiencing ...I'm currently Garmin-less and am experiencing the difficulty of determining my perceived "feels like" pace.

Some days that's 8:40, some days that's 10:30. I just like the info at the end. And yeah, sometimes I'm disappointed because I felt like I was pushing hard and running fast and I wasn't.MCM Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588793352268224508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528976842290078378.post-837381126018375962010-04-17T13:09:23.406-07:002010-04-17T13:09:23.406-07:00How about this.

Once I got my Garmin I realized that most of my route were short on distance. That was kind of like a kick in the face for me. Honestly, I wish I didn't care so much and could just go out and run ...TMB @ RACING WITH BABEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670409852045798697noreply@blogger.com
