I even had to laugh when the temperature fell 40 degrees a few days later — if only the half marathon had taken place Thursday instead of Sunday!Little Runner, Bigger Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425769729525642711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132452650878647527.post-47536233052715347372013-05-06T18:15:31.811-05:002013-05-06T18:15:31.811-05:00Ah, race day melt downs...they happen to all of us...Ah, race day melt downs...they happen to all of us. I've certainly had my fair share. At lease you dwelled on the positive and consoled yourself with delicious looking bacon. Yum.

The events were a 7 and 9 mile and both had readings varying up to 3/4 of a mile. Kind of a long way but then satellite wobble could be problem of maybe the planet is just now and then taking many out of their perceived way. Am so glad that they were not around in the old days when we only drank water, wore cotton, and worried only about how hard we ran not how far.

Once we got up to a half-mile ... perhaps it was my heat-induced crankiness, but I was inclined to believe something was off with the GPS, seeing as so many things already felt off with me. Anyways, thanks for the congrats, and hope all is well in Rockford!Little Runner, Bigger Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425769729525642711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132452650878647527.post-63022999135587293622013-04-29T12:45:53.206-05:002013-04-29T12:45:53.206-05:00Ok 13.75 by your GPS lets pretend that is correct,...Ok 13.75 by your GPS lets pretend that is correct, all be it GPS's are not necessarily all that accurate, but ok were pretending....it now becomes a math problem and one of geometry at that time for a eureka moment, I tell the children and for that matter most all who care to listen that geometry is good for two things in life shooting pool and running the tangents i.e. straight lines. A course is measured in the shortest possible manner where as in a crowd or along the way we tend to meander in your case a lot but then it is your wandering.<br />Congrats on the 1/2 marathon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259527079900096902noreply@blogger.com
