Andy and I at the Pavilion. Nice run on the indoor track, I still prefer the outdoors but at least the track allows us to get the miles in when it is too dark to run outside. Well at least the days are starting to get longer so in a few months we can do all of our running outside!

Another lunch time run at work. Very windy, which made it feel colder that it was. I had set my Garmin to run the Course to utilize the map function which worked but it did not track my run. It is very confusing using the Course, I select the Course, hit Enter at the "Do Course" prompt and then if it finds the Course it tracks the run, sometimes you have to hit the start/stop button, well this time I didn't hit the start/stop button, the Course Map screen worked fine showing me the my position on the Course so I assumed it was tracking the run, sadly it didn't track the run. Sometimes when I hit the start/stop button after hitting enter at the "Do Course" prompt it stops and I have to hit the start/stop button again. Confusing, I think the best approach is to always hit the start/stop button and if it stops hit it again.
