I did my second "Dam Hill" workout last weekend.
Remember the drill?
5.5 mile warmup.
4 miles of hills. Hills with crunches and push-ups and planks and lunges and squats between repeats.
5.5 mile cooldown.
That's 15 miles, for those keeping track at home.
As I was driving to the meeting place, I powered on Carmen the Garmin so she could locate satellites.
Dead. Stone Cold. Wouldn't even power on.
GAH! Nooooooo!!
I am worthless without Carmen. She is my other half. She is my soul-mate. She Completes Me.
Luckily, I ran with Jen, who has a ForeRunner 405, so I know the first 5.5 miles were run at a 9:50 pace (go us!!)...but I have no idea how fast the rest of the run was.
I have a hunch that it is an issue with her battery, so I'm going to charge her up and try to get her running (no pun intended) tonight. I'm hoping that I don't have to send her in...because I think I need to do 18 miles this weekend.
I Can't Run 18 Miles Without Carmen.
Wish us luck!

Carmen is hawt, but I LUVVV my polar. No need to remember to charge a battery, nor do I have to wait for those pesky satellites to align... :)
Good luck on the 18!
The workout was insane then and it is insane now. And add the mental torture of being Garmin-less!
good luck!!!! AHHH i feel the same way about mine... i am lost without it!
