    Hey cool... you know, for the life of me I can not remember what the 4.8 is on your display. The 9348 is steps, but what is the 4.8? heh.

    @KatieJane83 and @PastorVincent A little late but the download site shows it as Battery %

    Thanks! but we were not talking about the battery %. I was referring to the one thing on that image that is NOT labeled. :) Which is 1.5 in that image. But we figured it out it is the STEPS converted to MILES. :)


    I think thats miles.

    (totally didnt finish reading your comment before replying, oops, lol)

    March goal: Run END-SURE well, stay healthy and enter the final stages of Zumbro training
    Nominal mileage goal: Let's say 140? I really don't know. Real plan is to follow training and coach's advice well.
    3/1- REST
    3/2- 4.3


    Total:

    Today's notes: 4.3 trail miles in 45 minutes. Snow was nice and compact, making for pretty fast running for me on trail. There's a 8, 25 and 50k nordic ski race at my normal running grounds tomorrow, so I'll have to switch up how/when I do my 3 hour run.

    2018 races
    3/24- END-SURE 50k
    4/13- Zumbro Endurance Race 100 Mile
    7/28- Minnesota Voyageur 50
    9/8- Superior Trail 50 mile
    10/20- Wild Duluth 50k

    Also I ordered batteries on Amazon for my HRM. For whatever reason they are taking forever to get here (seems they are coming by slow truck from Kentucky). I don't understand why they wouldn't have just slipped them in an envelope and mailed them.

    We received a notice at work that our mailroom will no longer ship packages containing lithium batteries even if they are in a device such as an iPad, computer, phone, etc. The explanation was:

    "Lithium batteries are considered Dangerous Goods in transportation and require special packaging, labeling, marking and training for those who prepare them for shipment. Lithium batteries present an increasing hazard in transportation, especially when shipped by plane. Thus, shipping regulations are more stringent, carriers are more diligent in inspections and fines are increasing for violations, especially when lithium batteries are not declared in the package. "
    Thanks @Teresa502 - I knew about the issues on planes with phones but never correlated it to the small little batteries like for the HRM. Good news though - they arrived this morning in time for my run! Oh and in a large box with the lithium battery alert, etc. on the side!

    My new laces arrived too, each in a separate large package - seems like the packaging costs as much as the items but you gotta love Amazon!

    Actually, amazon has a plan with the box sizes and stuff. They optimize space in their vehicles, which saves money. Or something like that. I read an article a few weeks ago about it because I was always like why do I get this huge box for a little thing?

    Isn't it great to finally be able to find that out though!

    14 miles; longest run this year. In hindsight well planned as the strong winds were at my back the second half of my run. I wish I could say I planned it that way but I'll take the good luck.

    I'm headed out in a few and I'm hoping I run into the same good luck!
