Yes, I got up early on a Saturday and got out for a bike ride. I got out the door at about 5:45 and it was actually chilly at that time. So far my longest ride has only been 13 miles and I was thinking of going closer to 18 today. But about a half a mile into the ride I realized I had nothing to eat at home and had nothing other than Cytomax in my water bottle. So I was just going to see how far I could go but not push to hard.
Then right about 1 mile into the ride I see my Garmin say low battery, and the next time I look down it was off. Yes it does work great when it is fully charged but won't work at all if not. My fault for not charging. So now I have two strikes against me. One more strike and I am out.
Ride was going great other than not knowing how far or how long I am out there. The real cool thing is that the route I took today actually had me in 3 different towns. I live in Williamstown and I went into Clayton, and then Glassboro. So got home and checked and I was out for just under an hour and checked the route on the computer and did 14.75 miles. So if I had my Garmin I would have gone longer but oh well. The thing to focus on here is that I got up on a Saturday and got out of the house prior to 6am. That is an accomplishment let me tell you.
Have a great day.

Hey getting up early gives you more chance to do stuff with your kids anyway. Have a good weekend.
good for you getting up so early. That truly is an accomplishment. I rolled out of bed aT 8:30. oh yes, I actually slept in today. Uh Huh. BTW my Dad is from Glassboro.
Getting up early and training is something I've NEVER done, which makes it one of my number one goals. First, though, I have to tackle my goal to stop procrastinating!
Ha! I turned mine on Sunday with 0hrs of battery life remaining. Coincidence? I think not. Conspiracy - most likely.
