Kingwood Fit Run
I couldn’t, for the life of me, get the Garmin ForeRunner 305 to sync up to the GPS satellites. So, as we are running, I reach over to the iPhone on my arm and fire up the RunKeeper program. The iPhone is able to acquire the GPS satellites and I was able to track the remainder of the run with RunKeeper. So the figures below are just for the part of the event that RunKeeper recorded.
Duration: 01:10 Distance: 7.65 mi Pace (avg): 9:12 min/mi Speed (avg): 6.52 mi/hr Energy: 1198 kcal
