New running shoes. First pair of Nike shoes.
Coincidence but just got back from the gym and a 7 mile run and had this package at the door. Been using Asics Cumulus for several years. They always come out with a new model in the spring and I buy a couple of pairs of last years model on sale.

Those look nice. I have never had a pair of Asics. Look to be well ventilated.

Before a storm last night.

Did a good (for me) 7 mile run with an average 7:53 pace ( :apple:Watch has it at 7:57) down Atlanta Road through Smyrna.

Cumberland Boulevard, Cobb County needs to treat the tress (or I'm getting taller).
 
No pictures to show because it’s dark, and my street isn’t that interesting

But **** I’m pissed!!! I just ran 7 miles (first 10K ever by the way) and my watch died at 6.8mi and it didn’t save any of it, what the ****

Now you might be thinking: “it can’t save stuff when it’s dead dummy :rolleyes:

And I would agree, but can’t the damn thing say “Oh look Josh is 7 miles into a run and I’m about to die, maybe I should save what he’s already run to give him some credit”

Also got a new pair of shoes today, so was happy to try them out (and I love them!) but I’m so ****ing pissed, and on top of above my rings are acting like I never even put my watch on today, what a ******** product!!!

6.75 mile today and even had an odd experience. My iPhone rebooted (iOS 11) mid run. Was recording Apple Workout/Outdoor Run on my :apple:Watch and Nike+ NRC on my iPhone. Had to open Nike+ NCR and "start a new run" since it was a complete reboot. Wasn't sure what this would do to my :apple:Watch Workout info too (map incomplete or not shown). Somehow my Nike+ NRC run is complete just like the iPhone didn't reboot and I stated a new run.:eek: Also my :apple:Watch run is correct (not as big a surprise).

IMG_2794_zps9qr1hlve.jpg

I just don't understand how this is complete???????o_O

About to head out. Same Tesla Model X P90 as last week. Must be someone in the gym.


IMG_2786_zpsc8nba4ke.jpg

About to run around SunTrust Park.

Standing around waiting on a reboot (or at least was). About to head into the CRNRA.

Running through the CRNRA right after finishing a killer (for me) 7:15 pace mile 5.

Ironman 70.3 in Pescara, Italy. Some pics from the transition zone, some from the bike course (drove it ahead of time), and some from the swim start. Significant wind and waves, they're currently adjusting the swim course.

I guess you are competing right now.

Instead of running yesterday I decided it was well past time to do a ride. Did 25 around Buckhead (north Atlanta).

About to start.


IMG_2809_zpsrzo26dz2.jpg

Also went for a short (1 mile) walk around the neighborhood and the weather so so nice the parking lot for the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area was overfull.

Just finished an Olympic distance. I'll put some more pics up in a bit.

Wow, the swim was nuts. Insane waves, felt like I was moving backward while doing forward strokes.

Used the watch for all 3 parts. 3.5 hours total and 22% battery remaining.

I'm at a total of 3300 move calories so far which I've never quite seen before lol.

Dreary weather crossing I285.
 
Super nice weather this morning and after weight training I had to hit the pavement for a 6 miler (10K). Have been struggling on my last runs and even felt body fatigue as I started. Was expecting a poor showing. However I stepped it up and had a good overall run and a KILLER (for me) 7 minute (4:20 kpm) 3ed mile. Also had almost 1100' (335 meters) elevation.
