Will to live…check
Feeling sorry for myself… check
All systems go! See you all in about an hour and a quarter after my 11 km run which will be partly through knee deep snow since I’ve decided to take to the trails even if I have to walk/slog through them just because I’m an idiot. The trail portion is only 2.5 km anyway.
OK so that was a mistake. Stay away from the trails. Far far away. That is, if you want to run them. I think I’ll be avoiding them until spring, for running purposes anyway. My Powerade became a frozen slushy mess in no time so I didn’t have much of it. The new interface on the Runkeeper program is OK but the audio feedback is…slower…than…snails… I used to be able to get a status update in less than 5 seconds, now it’s like…Distance———7———————-point—————-0——————–1———————————————-kilometers. -long pause- *yawn* average———————pace———————————6—————————————minutes——————————————forty———————————–three—————————————–seconds————————–per….
You get the idea. I’m damn near at the next kilometer before it’s finished. I don’t know what they did to screw that up, it was working fine before. The actual distance is still quite inaccurate. Today’s distance shows 10.7 kilometers, but I know the real distance is 11.15 kilometers. Still, it’s a fun app and I like it well enough to keep it.
Anyway, today’s run was anything but enjoyable. In fact, I didn’t like it at all. Too cold, too many clothes, too much icy wind. But, you can’t expect to love every run so I guess I’ll just suck it up and try to look forward to Sunday’s 13 km run in even colder weather. But at least I won’t be on the trails.
