Heading out for 10, I intentionally left the garmin at home.  I just didn't need the pressure.  Although the fact that I perceive pressure from an inanimate object is a bit of a problem.  We don't have time to discuss those types of problems!  Little did I know what a difference it would be.  For the whole 10 miles I was relaxed.  Never knowing my speed or distance was nice.  KNowing the route, gave me a ball park figure, but beyond that I was clueless.  I can't tell you if my knees started to bother me at mile 7, or if I pooped out come mile 9.  It helped that it was a beautiful morning to be out there, and I had some good company.  Today I enjoyed the conversation and found myself laughing later in the run.  I know I ran 10 today and that's all that really matters.  I will have other workouts to gauge my pace and measure splits.
