Total Distance
5.34

I got up early and tried the tempo run.  I need to figure out how to pace myself at the right time.  Maybe I can figure out how to use my watch to help me...I think it can beep when your pace isn't on target...if you can figure out how to tell it what your target is. Today my target was supposed to be 8:50.

 
My times were all over the place, and I had to take little walk breaks in between each mile because I was pooped! 1st-9:50, 2nd-7:52, 3rd-8:51, 4th-9:06, 5th (after driving BBB to soccer practice) 10:51.  The middle three (2,3,4) were supposed to be my tempo times.  I just went too fast on #2, and it kicked my butt so I had trouble finishing.
 
Then I showered and went to physical therapy where I got a work-out today.  Butt and thigh strengthening.  Holy cow, I wanted to scream..."my buns are on fire!!!"  The PT guy asked me, "Is that too easy for you?"  He must have been kidding.  Every muscle was shaking.
 
So I felt like I've gotten a good workout today. 
Knee was a little sore after the runs.  I didn't use knee band today.  Iced it after PTherapy.

If anyone has any idea how to set the garmin to keep you on a certain tempo, please give me some pointers.

I don't know how....I'll see if I can find out though! Nice job on the miles and doing your tempo pace. That 2nd mile was rockin' :)

You gotta love PT when you feel like your workout there is harder than the 5 miles you ran. Glad they're working on the hip stability, I know it's helped me!!!

I have a Garmin 305. Use the mode button to get to the screen that has history, training, navigation, settings. Use up and down button to scroll to "Training". Use enter button to go to the next screen and select "Training Options". Use enter button to go to the next screen "Alerts". Enter Alerts to get to the screen that has "Time/Dist Alert", Pace Alert, HR Alert. Use down button to scroll to "Pace Alert". Enter "Pace Alert" for the screen that will let you set the pace you want to be beeped at. Hope it helps.

Smooth,

I tried it, and it worked! Thank you for the tutorial. My watch beeped a lot, but I was able to say within the time frame I wanted.
