W8R1....I made it, dodgy knee and all.....

....As it seems the Fates are tag teaming me right now...my Garmin 110 is acting out, my knee is acting out, and the weather is acting out....

But, being the stubborn old woman I am, I made the 28 minutes PLUS an extra minute just to be "in your face, Fates!" I had to take some of my own advice (boy, did THAT hurt) and just run for on more step toward the end, but I did it!

Good running everyone...I'm going to go ice my wonky knee, turn a fan on, and see if Garmin's suggestions for a "fix" on the 110 works...

Post Script: I slapped down one of the Fates....got the Garmin running again...trouble acquiring satellites which will lock out the timer function.

Sooooo....onward and upward!

Well done Grammadog! It takes a lot sometimes to just get out of the house. Only 1 more minute to the magic 30!
