Like Robinson Crusoe it's primitive as can be


I ran today with no electronic devices other than my stopwatch. I felt like Tom Hanks in Castaway. It was the first time I've ever run without an iPod for music. With all of the difficutlties I've been having with my iPod and moisture lately, I didn't want to risk ruining Miranda's if I got caught in a rainshower. It was actually kind of liberating. I knocked out six miles in 63 minutes and 7 seconds. I didn't like having to hear myself breathe, but other than that it was quite relaxing. I used the website nikeplusedit.com to create a file for my Nike+ training program to account for my run. I mapped it using mapmyrun.com so my distance was correct. My graph is inaccurate but the distance and time information is right so that's all I'm really concerned about.
