I got to run outside yesterday!

I got to run outside yesterday and got to use my Garmin that my friend got me for Christmas. I haven't found a way to export it directly from the Garmin in a way that I like but it imports into BIMactive nicely which I used to use with my Blackberry and liked it a lot then. It doesn't run on the HTC Eris, or any other version of Android and the two that I have found for the Android weren't the best. One of them was off by over a mile on this last run. I know how far the run is. I've driven it many times measuring it with car, motorcycle, and roomie's car. It's 1.5 miles one way and I had over 4 miles on it based on cardiotrainer's map.

Week 3 Day 1 of Couch to 5k

Holy crap! There was no warning I was going to have a 3 minute run today and I wound up starting it on a down hill followed immediately by an uphill... I was dragging by the end of this run. I won't do the hill again for a few weeks I think. Activity Route: -- Elev. Avg: 1107 ft Location: Badger, IA, Elev.
