Core strength and stretching. Way too long since I've done this. It needs to be a prerequisite for picking up the miles later this month. There, I've said it out loud.

Drumm loop again. Garmin 410 came up with exactly the same mileage as last time, 3.62. This time, I paid attention to where it thought the mile points were. The same track on gmap-pedometer is 3.77, and the mile points are off from the Garmin's by increasing amounts, so it looks like the difference is a percent of distance traveled.

Sligo loop. I had written the day off, what with all the precipitation in various forms, but in the late afternoon the sun came out and it suddenly looked better. Wore the HRM for the second time. It feels like it's going to slip down off my chest but never seems to. At easy pace I cruise along at a steady 126, but the least incline spikes it up to 146. Always comes right down again. The kids both wanted to try it, but it didn't seem to work on them. More precisely, it held at steady 150 on both of them, which certainly isn't right. Maybe it's double-counting for some reason.
