Day 41 - Bad experience

Got out for a 5km run this evening at 7pm.

My footpod for the Garmin 305 arrived today, so I was really pleased that I could just go out, switch the watch on and run...however it wasn't that easy.

For a start, the watch kept telling me that the footpod wasn't switched on - even though it was, and then when I started to run it didn't pick a signal up.
I waited for about 15 minutes trying to get either a satellite signal or the footpod to work. In the end I gave up and started to run...as soon as I started the watch picked up the footpod signal.

However, the calibration is not right and it said I had run 0.7miles when I was at the 1 mile marker.

Having waited for about 15 minutes and getting more and more frustrated, i think all my adrenaline was gone by the time I started to run.

I did not enjoy the run.
My legs felt heavy.
I felt I was running slow.
I finished and was glad to get home.

Just over 5km in 31minutes 50 seconds.

I reckon I probably completed the 5km in just over 30minutes.

Need to go out tomorrow and sort the calibration of the watch.

happy I ran, but not feeling very good tonight. Scared I will have to force myself to get back out next time.
