Two runs, wind, and maps
On the road more regularly this week. Two more runs: Wednesday, 2/22, I ran 8 miles in 1:14:10 (9:15/mi). Today 10 miles in 1:34:32 (9:27/mi). So for the first time since December, I’ve run four times in one week. About time. Sunny today and not too cold, but the 20+ mph wind took a little out of me.
Based on suggestions from a few reviews and weblogs, I’ve moved my Forerunner so its face points upward while I run. Supposedly this will improve its accuracy. Comparing a few maps doesn’t show a big difference, but the resolution isn’t very good in the Garmin software. I’ll plot a few high-res maps with old and new data and see what happens.
