Tuesday’s Workout
Long Run
Dist: 7mi @12:13

So, I’m running this morning, fiddling with my Polar HR monitor to see if its interfering with my Nike+ Ipod sensor, and I look up and see on the intersecting path… two brown bear cubs with mama bear.  *gasp*   She leads them up a tree, and I start running back to my van to get my camera. I see a Parks & Rec truck on my way and she radios it in.
 
By the time I get back, the bears are up a different tree.  The Wildlife Commission is going to let them stay up there and see if they come down late tonight on their own to head home…
 
They are in a tree on the path by the creek, about .25 miles south of the parking lot on Glen.

With the iPod, I am able to pause my workout.  Which I did after I ran the first mile and stopped for 10 minutes to take pictures of the bears.  Then I ran 6 continuous miles, with a small break to pee.  I do know that my total running time today was 1:11:51 with an average 10:14 pace.  I’m still suspicious of these numbers, so I am going to try and calibrate my sensor sometime this week.  Maybe after my easy run.

So, after I posted this, I look at my workout calender and saw that I was only supposed to run 6 miles today. Which, in effect, I did, with a 1 mile “warm-up”
