This was supposed to be a 4 mile run. I used the Timex/Garwin Time and Distance system, but things were screwy once I got to the 2 mile mark according to the watch. It indicated that I had been running 7:15 miles. No way! I was feeling good, but not that good. But, sometimes your body can fool you. So, I turned around and ran back. At the finish, the watch said 3.5 miles. I thought, yeah I thought so! So, I added another 1/2 mile according to the same equipment. Well, when it was all said and done, I was .6 miles short according to gmap-pedometer. So, I assumed the chronongraph portion of the watch worked and used the mileage report by gmap for the "official" log entry. Stupid technology strikes again.
Speaking of stupid technology, Apple should take a lesson from Google. I had to reinstall my Toshiba laptop as I mentioned earlier. As a result, I installed iTunes on one of my other computers and set up my podcast subscriptions. I downloaded the episodes I had not listened to yet and plugged up the iPod. Did Apple go "hey, do you want to keep what's on your iPod?" or "would you like to update your library and your iPod such that any unique show on either is replicated to the other?". NO! It says you can only sync with 1 computer so if you continue, your iPod contents will be erased. Thanks Apple, you dumbass. That is not what I want. Somebody give me a podcatcher to update my iPod that gives me what I want and takes Apple's crap off my computer. iTunes sucks if you ask me. I love the iPod though.
Back to the run. I listened to the latest Daily Source Codes and my legs felt better than yestereday. I find it amazing that the body some how accomodates the loads we throw at it. Today's run felt good despite the slow pace.
