Can't wait to take the Garmin out for spin #2

Well, I got my Garmin on Friday, but it rained and rained, so I couldn't take it out for a spin :( Saturday, after work, I can't remember what we did exactly, but we were busy. So Sunday after work I had about an hour before we had to be at my mother-inlaws for super bowl and SIL's b-day celebration; so I decided to try out the Garmin and see how far it was around the block. According to Garmin, it was .66 miles...so I ran around twice and then down the street for a grand total of 2.01 miles. It was a hard run though, all hills! Garmin told me this:
Total Distance: 2.01 miles
Total Time:      18:40 avg pace 9:17
Mile 1:            9:17 (avg heartrate 162)
Mile 2:           9:16 (avg HR 167) IS THAT TOO HIGH?
Total calories: 224

It also told me a bunch of different stuff which I totally don't understand yet, but I'm working on it! My main love so far, other than it telling me my total distance (which is HUGE, now I don't have to clock all my runs), is that I can see my average pace, and I now know that I have a good race pace, but that I am running too fast in my training runs. At least according the the McMillian training calculator. That is a whole other thing that I am confused about. According to it, I should be running my long runs at 10:35 to 11:35. But why? Shouldn't I be running them faster? Anywho....I will be taking Garmin out on its' first long run tonight, so I am excited to see what it tells me. I only have to run 7 miles, but I am excited to try a new route!

As far as training went for last week:

I was scheduled to run a speed workout of 3 miles, a tempo run of 4 miles, and a long run of 8.
Did the 3 speed, did the long 8, but I ran out of time to do a continuous 4, so did 2 on thursday, and 2 on sunday! Oh well!

This week's training:

• 3 miles of speed training : DONE (Great run too, by the way!)
• 7 miles (TONIGHT)
• 5 mile Tempo (Friday)
• Kickboxing (Thursday)

Oh! AND I guess I am supposed to name my Garmin?! I have no idea! Any suggestions???

And I will leave you all with a goofy pic from last night...before bed time, hubby and I were playing with the kiddos and decided to give ourselves piggy noses with scotch tape! (WHY? I don't know, but we had fun laughing!)
