going off road with garmin and stavro (revised) 7.32 miles

this could have been a great relaxed playful run. i broke out the bulky garmin and just went out. i didn't worry about what route i took i just ran where i was intersted to go. i didn't even plan block to block. usually not knowing where i'm headed or how far would be a downside but not this evening. one issue though stavro is insistend to come who knew it would further and different then past runs was complaining after 3 miles it was too far or he was too tired. he bummed me out. i told him to stop complaining he was riding a bike after all. i now know 3 is really his mental max. i didn't take the baby because i didn't want to push i just wanted to run. 9.30 mile was so relaxing i was strong even though i was frustrated. stress is very draining. i could have easily run 9.15 or 9.00 without 'working'. i would have really liked to get to eight miles.
