I got my GPS today and took it for a run. I ran 2.2 miles in about 18 minutes. I was able to sustain my old pace for that long before I got a terrible side ache and had to stop. It was weird because I felt strong up until then and then that hit me out of nowhere. At least I know that I'm starting off better than I thought I would. If I take it a little slower, I'll be able to put in some longer distance runs and work my way back up to my old speed and beyond.
The GPS is incredibly cool. I plugged it in and within maybe 2 seconds I was able to view my total time, total pace, a map of where I ran, and graphs of speed vs elevation vs pace vs grade over the time of my run. Later, I will be able to compare runs to each other to see how my speeds compared. What a cool training tool.
Also, my speed peaked around the 1.25 mile mark. I don't think this is significant, but I found it in the chart and I think it is cool.
