Question: How accurate does your mileage have to be?
Mileage? I’m a free spirit.
Nearest mile is fine.
Round to the half mile.
Whatever my Garmin tells me.
I don’t run a step unless it is on a track.

Paul, once again you are right.  My favorite pair of spikes were Nike and my best race in them was .9375 miles, which is about 1500 meters or 1.00 metric miles!

I used to have a pair of Puma soccer cleats . . . does that count?  Also, has anyone had any experience with the Axiom 2?  I have tried other brands (Saucony, Asics, no nIKE's in a long time) and the brooks seem to be the only ones that fit me properly.  I actually read from others that they liked the Axiom 2 even better than the Adrenaline.  Sorry to hijack the thread . . .

I also have a pair of Axioms on the way. I've never worn them before, but I'll find out and let you know.

As I read James - I thought he was reciting pi and that got me thinking of a race that was held down here by a local elementary - it was a Pi K, so 3.14..... whatever (I only take it to the hundredth and then I would go an extra step to make it 3.15!).  But, does a race based upon a number that has no end, ever have an end?

Dave, That is a great point and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to sleep tonight contemplating the meaning of a Pi race. Thanks a lot!!! Smiley

I tend to round to the nearest half mile.  I also probably look at my garmin more than I should, but it has been one of the most enjoyable purchases I've ever made related to running.

It has an end, it's just a FREAKISHLY precise end, which our poor Garmins could never hope to measure accurately.  *wink*

I agree with Dustin.  I look at my Garmin way more than I should, especially the pace, but I love it and I also think it has been one of my favorite running related purchases.

Every end is just as precise as PI. We can measure one mile no better than PI miles.
