Well, at least for me! My garmin has made it back to my wrist, again. Here is why, I was getting slow. I ran my annual turkey trot this year, it was 5 miles and my time was 39:18 with a pace of 7:52. I have not ran that fast (fast for me) in over a year. It felt pretty awesome. I ran it barefoot and my feet and calf's definitely felt the effects of pushing my body out of my comfort zone
While I was totally enjoying my garmin free running, my pace was becoming slower. I was averaging around a 9:00 pace, which is fine but I know I am capable of running faster. I feel into a comfort zone, and again here comes my competitive side lurking to the top. The great thing about running the competitiveness is just my personal goals. I have ran twice after the turkey trot, and having the garmin on I do enjoy pushing the pace again.
So I came clean, let the lashings begin!
