Short run, 3 miles, 33:15; splits 11:04, 11:29, 10:31
"Rain, heavy at times," as the weather radio says. It felt quite pleasant, actually. But a nice old guy in a truck pulled up next to me and asked, "Are you OK?"
"Yes, I'm fine!" I replied, and mentally added: "I 'm a marathoner!" (as NRMT recommends you should repeat to yourself). Which reminds me that during this past Sunday's run, my dad (a worrier at times) thought I might call for help--because it was raining--on the cell phone he lent me. I have come a long way. It even occurred to me that if it does absolutely pour on marathon day, I can bring extra socks--maybe 2 pairs--and change along the way. I will finish, no matter what!
An unexceptional easy run. My last 3-miler--next week the "short" run goes to 4 miles.

Hey,
I was having the same problem as you did downloading from the Forerunner. I moved from Laptop to my PC, and conjured up all sorts of reasons it wasn't working. I plugged in the AC adapter thinking the serial interface needed power. I waited for the FR to "not" find satelites, thinking there was a task-lock in the firmware waiting for events to complete.
Anyways, I saw your post on blogcritics.com or something and saw that I just needed to "force" the plug a little more. Thanks for the tip!
Good job on the Blog, good luck in your training.
Peace out
-Chris
