Changed it up a bit and met Tara at Davis Blvd. We wanted to deviate from the usual flat LPT run. The first half of the run felt fine but I knew that I didn't have the energy necessary to push the pace on the way back. We hit a couple of 7:15's after then turn around then I was done. Out pace naturally slowed to 7:30. I felt bad that I was holding us back so I suggested to Tara that she go on ahead. She hung around for another mile before pressing the pace for the last mile. Averaged 7:30/mile for the entire run which is a decent pace for that route.

Agreed. Heat +route makes it harder than our usual cooler flat runs. Remember how I asked you about the GPS tracking the beginning of the run? Check out the map for today. I'm curious to know if yours did the same. It also makes me wonder if it affected the paces in the beginning. So if your map shows the correct course and the same mile splits for the first part, then I guess we'll know...

Glad I got this watch, otherwise we'd have to find other pointless information to stew over. Also glad we moved on from the tunnel discussions.

I thought we ran together this morning but according to that, you started in a very different location. Here is my data: http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/542043368

Ummmm, wow! Look how different our mile splits are from the beginning. I think mine is off.

Send me last Tuesday's data, if you don't mind. I'm curios if this is a map thing or a regular occurrence.

Your run starts in the wrong place on the map so I'm pretty sure your splits are off. Here is mine from last week: http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/537175505

Okay, I'm noticing something interesting on both days of comparison. Every mile split of yours is faster than mine by 5-10 seconds, but our average pace is almost spot on. I also see that my last mile seems to make up for it, but showing up to 30 seconds faster than yours. Since we ran stride by stride on Tuesday, I know that is an error and that mine was playing catch up. What is up with my Garmin! It shouldn't matter, but it sort of does:) No, it really does. Maybe I need to make sure my GPS is fired up and going in advance.

You would think that running side by side would result in your same model garmins reporting the same information. But variations in your personal electromagnetic fields can be blamed for any discrepancies. I learned all about this by watching Lost.

So you are saying that my magnetic personality is what is causing the discrepancies in GPS readings?

It also could be an electrolytic imbalance.
