Ship Run #1

Last week we went on a cruise and I actually ran a couple of times. Would've done more except I got sick a few days from the end of the week and basically felt (and still feel) like hammered sh!t. My first run, on Monday, 3 November, lasted a total of 3 miles, which I thought was pretty good on a sea day since every time I ran forward on the starboard side of the track the wind was brutal. Plus, I had to count laps, and that just kind of sucks. It was seven laps for a mile. I walked a lap each mile to keep the heart rate from getting too high. My GPS worked and didn't work, which is actually kind of funny. Since I was on a moving ship and dependent on the ship's wi-fi for location, my Apple Watch told me I ran 14.72 miles at a pace under four minutes/mile. When I pulled up the map, it showed a straight line cutting across the north Atlantic. Pretty funny and I'm surprised it didn't give me an achievement for longest run and fastest pace.
