All kinds of things went wrong here. This was a better run than last weekend, but I was planning on 22 miles (adding Vettiner Park to the run).
Defeated by technology. Garmin battery had discharged most of the way, so I allowed it to charge for ~ 45 minutes via AC prior to running. Low battery warning at 16.5 miles, so I headed back instead of running without constant feedback. Weak.
Did some demoralizing neighborhood looping rather than risk “untracked” miles. Sad. Now I’m pondering 8 tomorrow as punishment for my patheticness.
