Hi. My name is Needle and I am a dumba$$.*
I went for a run this morning and after taking a shower and getting some coffee, I went to bimactive.com to add the run. I use the hybrid map because I know the landmarks. As I was looking at the map, it dawned on me that I have been using the wrong house as my start point.
Now, to those of you that live in a neighborhood, you are thinking "Pfffft, it is only like, what, 20 feet! What kinda loser writes a blog post about 4o feet during a run?!"
First off, I don't live in a neighborhood and secondly, I am that kinda loser. My neighbor is almost 0.1 of a mile into my run. So I have been shorting myself, almost 0.2 of a mile on a 2+ mile run for a couple of weeks. How could I not notice that I was using the wrong house as my starting point?!?
Time for a day of soccer and football. (For my non-existent Euro-trash readers, that would be football and American football).
Hare a great weekend everyone!
*I have heard that admitting your problem is the first step. The first step to what, I am not sure of.

You need a Garmin, Needle. And when Glaven gets back from his MILLIONTH vacation of the summer, he's gonna be all, "Garmins are evil. Use MapMyRun". Because he fears and hates Garmins... and also freedom and democracy, but that's neither here nor there.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have no close neighbors. Ours are inconsiderate douchebags. By which I mean they NEVER bring me warm, homebaked cookies , nor do they shovel my driveway.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's this? LuMu is leaving kertwanging comments aimed at ME on others' blogs?
ReplyDeleteI knew she hated the troops, but now I finally understand why they hate her back despite the fact that she put out for all of them at once - even the girl troops!
Or so I heard. Or wait ... maybe that's just an erotic dream i had.
The point is, don't get a Garmin.
