All in all a good run for me, I started out a little too fast and paid for it a bit with some tummy issues, with the cool breeze I found that it was easy to misjudge the effect the humidity would have on me.
Well now I'm back in the cold north weather to continue training for my first full marathon, looking forward to being back at Disney in January.

I would be more apt to believe the course than the GPS. .04mile discrepancy per mile is well within tolerances depending on satellite locations. Without a base station to calibrate with the satellite locations error is part of the deal
So I checked my history.Okay, so I am curious... What did everyone's Garmin's read? I overheard a man who said he did 13.8. My watch read 13.4 miles. Thought I did better on my corners/tangents, but I was off from the very first mile.
I get that, but to be off that much that soon is very telling. And I've noticed that more often than not, my Garmin reads short. I realize that it's almost always the case and I'm not looking for a perfect 13.12, but an extra quarter mile can mean a lot in terms of time, ya know? I'd be curious to know how the full in January measures on average.
I know I'm coming off more annoyed than I actually am, it's just frustrating that race after race, the distance is off from the beginning. I promise I'm not a psycho. At least I won't be until I miss a BQ marathon by eleven seconds and find the course a quarter mile long.
Runkeeper told me I did nearly 13.9. I must have been weaving like a madman!
Hahahaha, and I thought I went long .
DH asked if I was drinking before the race
Fletch said:HAHA!
I did see a few folks in the starting area who had obviously enjoyed the pre-race taste.
capeseal said:Who is training for marathon weekend in January or Princess in February? Did my first Princess training run today after taking a full week off and felt great. Five miles at a decent pace with no ankle pain. Adapting to the altitude again after a week away went surprisingly smoothly. I usually struggle through my runs the first week back home.
