2 miles in 20 minutes is a 10:00 pace

I can do math. I run until I can't and walk. The walking pace is closer to 15 min/mi. My watch is set to mi not km. As another poster asked, yes I can run at a 6:30 pace with relative ease for a short span. I am 6'3". When them legs get swinging I can move. All of my fat is on my thorax. My legs still look like they did years ago.
Back in the day, I could run a 5:30 mile any day if the week and a 5:00 if I tried to kill myself

The Garmin does have a heart monitor. I'm not sure how good it is, but I do watch it.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I think it's time I add distance and slow down while running. 8-830 is very comfortable, it's just making myself slow down during that first 0.25-0.5mi.
