MacKenzie was nice enough to meet me at my home in the wee hours of the morning. We ran outside until my husband had to leave for the airport. 5.25 miles outside in the slush. We did three neighborhood loops in Woodland Hills, from 5700 to 6200 feet altitude, so there were alot of hills and alot of slush (thankfully it was not cold) so our pace was slow, ave 9:30 or so. Mizuno I then came inside, changed clothes and shoes, and hopped on the treadmill. 4.8 miles @ 8 minute pace. And yes, I want credit for the .05, because I could have stopped but I didn't, I kept going until a song on the radio finished. I say, running is better than stopping, and getting credit for making more of an effort is part of what motivates me (sad, but true). So even though a gps watch is not accurate to the hundredth, I know that my watch ticks the hundredths by, and if I do a circle my culdesac the watch ticks upward. If I decide not to do a loop around the culdesac, my watch doesn't tick those hundredths. Running is about incremental gains, including the lengths of our work outs. That's my gps two cents for the day. Asics
