The Fargo Marathon is only five sleeps away. When my kids were younger, we used to count how many sleeps (nights) before we would go to Grandma and Grandpa's house. A trip to the grandparents' farm is so much fun that they still really look forward to those visits in their teen years. Happy Belated Mother's Day to our mom!! She is a wonderful mom and grandmother! I ran my last long run of marathon training on Saturday. It was eight miles and went well. I've been trying to figure out if I like to time my run on my Apple watch or on my old Garmin. I decided to try both watches simultaneously. Is it cool to wear two watches at once? Probably not... The main workout app on my Apple watch only gives me an overall average pace and not individual mile times until I finish the workout. However, my apple watch can get phone calls and text messages which I like for safety. It also controls the volume of my audio book or music. The Garmin gives me mile splits, but it is extremely slow in locating a satellite. I decided to download a new GPS app on my Apple Watch called Strava. This app allows me to see my average pace and will tell me how fast I ran the last mile. Now I can wear one watch and get all the features I need.
I hope your week is off to a great start! Happy Running! -Stephanie

It can be helpful to wear one of the paper pacing bracelets during a marathon. It will tell you if you are close to your desired pace disregarding any discrepancies with the GPS vs mile markers.
