I was suppose to have been running yesterday but it was raining the whole day. One of the rules is to never give up and I totally agree but if there is one thing that cannot happen is that I get sick again. I am going to a very important interview on Monday so then I did the run today.

I did some testings today while I ran my 12.5K run.

During the morning the sun came out and when I took the train to Denmark it did not rain and I hoped it would stay that way, there was some hope.

I needed to test my 2XU compressions tights (the regular ones), the temperature was around 7oC (45F) and I am one of the people that do not get very warm when I run, these compression tights are a bit too cold to run in at this temperature.

One other thing that I was going to test was to follow a route and see what happens. I bought my own Suunto Ambit3 peak which is a new brand for me. I have used Polar for years (not GPS though). So when I chose the route the Compass needed to be calibrated and it succeeded and then the starting point was detected and then it was time to start running. Of course I consciously ran in the wrong direction to see if the pulse watch would react and how. It seems to me that I have to change a setting somewhere. I am getting there. Otherwise I could see the route on the display and saw where I was running and this was one of the demands I had when I was chosing which pulse I would buy.

It is always nice to meet another Coach K Runner while I am running and today Karin A was running in the other direction and we said hello

Another thing that I also was testing was to make sure the display was fine now. I wanted to see the current activity duration at the top, pace in the middle and then at the bottom: distance, heart rate and altitude and finally I saw it the way that I want

I had some upwind part of the run, it was nice to see the sun come out and brighten my afternoon.
