Imaginary Numbers

Laela and I both had five miles to run today, but I tend to run a little faster than she. We both started off Worthington High School but I decided to run South for a mile while she proceeded North. My mile took me to Antrim Park where I turned around and then ran to the top of the trail which ends at Worthington Hills shopping center. That concluded my five miles (actually 5.5) and that's where I met Laela. She was at her halfway point.

At that point we decided that I should drive Indy and that Laela could proceed ahead. Indy and I walked the last two and a half miles behind Laela. Indy doesn't like for us to be split up so she gets a little anxious when L pulls out ahead of us and kept trying to speed up to catch her.

I wore out the battery on my shoe sensor on Sunday so I had to replace it today. With a new sensor comes new calibration so after the run, I did two walking laps around the track at TWHS and two running laps. I'm glad I did because the sensor was off by 0.01 miles walking and 0.05 miles running. That would have resulted in my sensor logging more mile for me than I actually ran.

After the extra 2.5 miles walking behind Laela and then the extra 1 mile from calibrating my sensor I ended up doing 9 miles today. 5.5+2.5+1=5.5 according to my sensor. I guess the extra 3.5 are imaginary. Oh well, at least I've got a fresh battery and I am ready to tackle the rest of the summer.

In Nike+/Facebook news, the developer of the Nike+ Running Monitor for Facebook added a new feature. It now has an update now button, that will post your runs to your page immediately rather than waiting for the next polling interval to post your run. So far I'm not a fan of the new Nike+ page. Too many features either weren't thought out or were implemented poorly.
