Total Distance
20.50

20.5 miles around GP.  I ran around Wal-Mart, then hit the hills.  Ran up Beacon, down 10th to the HS.  Then up 9th and down 6th to the farmers market.  Went back uphill once again on 4th to Club NW and Anderson Dental, then home via Highland Ave.

I take back the good things I said about the Nike+ watch.  It's crap.  Last weekend I ran 16 according to the watch, but when I came home to measure the route online it came out to 16.25.  Same thing today, only worse.  The watch said I ran 20 but the same route measured online comes out to 20.5.  I feel like I'm sprinting along and it's all I can do to get my watch to say sub-6.  That explains the slower times during my runs.  For today's run, it works out to be about 10 seconds/mile slower than it should be.  Anyway, hopefully whoever I talk with @ Nike isn't a tool and they take it back so I can go back to using a Garmin.
