Who Do I Believe?

While we were home over Thanksgiving I lost my watch for a few days (it ended up being stuck in the couch). I downloaded the Map My Run app on my phone to use in the meantime. My watch is a Timex Ironman, and it's an inexpensive GPS watch. Which means it's not always reliable. One day I decided to use both my watch and the app while I ran. And my time and distance were different. I've done it several times since then with the same results.


This is my watch (duh). 2.85 miles in 32 minutes. This alone tells me my watch is the one that's wrong. I'm a slow runner, but not that slow.

Much more believable. I guess I'll be using my phone from now on since Garmins and such are outside my budget. I'm wondering about all those times I used my watch alone! Sheesh!!

When Daniel isn't working and I can run, I go to a park in Dothan that has a nice trail. I run slower here than on the road, but there are hills, and I hope I'm getting stronger.

There's a cool workout area at the park where I run. I haven't used it, but it looks cool.


I always feel better when I stretch after a run. I use the same stretch routine we used in the aerobics class I took in 9th grade.

After my run on Monday I ran a couple errands, but I was so hungry. We eat at Chickfil way too often, but never for breakfast.
This was soooo good.

The kids and I are heading home today. I'm dropping the kids off at my mom's and going to Fayetteville. I'll be able to have a few good runs. Hoping to end 2018 with a bang, and looking forward to reaching my goals in 2019.
