    March 1 - 5K - 3rd place in my age group. Not my best time, but happy with it! 29:07
    March 2- rest
    March 3- 5.05 miles and strength training
    March 4 - 5.09 miles
    March 5 - 5.13 miles

    Not sure if I will be able to get up at my usual 4am to run on Monday since the clocks go forward this weekend. Hoping for lots of biking this weekend but rainy and gloomy this morning, so we will see.

    1/2 mi @ 6.9 mph
    1/2 mi @ 7.0 mph
    1/2 mi @ 7.1 mph

    @ohhim swimming is just horizontal running, no reason not to flaunt it here.... how do you figure your swim miles? I thought of tying my Garmin in my hair, since its too warm to wear the swim cap and hide it in there.

    Lol ... speaking for the least coordinated among us (me), I might politely disagree that swimming is just horizontal running and give a huge high-five to all of you who swim. :smiley: Envious ...

    Today's a rest day for me.

    2.5 miles this morning. I was heading out just as the moon was setting over the mountains. It's not the best picture but I thought it looked neat.

    @4leighbee‌ lol! I'm probably more uncoordinated than everyone here. My left leg and foot are weak (nerve damage) and get all gimpy (overworked) after a bit. Seems like its just along for the ride some days, takin' in the view..

    Swimming is like running. Keep at and it gets easier.

    @dennie24‌ wow! That seems like the perfect way to start the day! Lovely view.

    This just reminded me of a sign that was on the 5K on Sunday. It said "If I collapse, please pause my Garmin".
