If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete

I'm finding less time to update my blog these days, but my flickr photostream is often updated.

Playing in my house right now...

At 13:05 GMT on Wednesday I was listening to:

I've be taking it easy on the running front since Sunday, thanks to my sore ITB, but tonight I was just dying to run, so I did. Now that I'm getting the hang of my watch I decided to wear it to training.

We did a warmup round the Meadows first, and then 3 sets of 5 runs of ~1 minute with 30 seconds, then 45 seconds and finally 60 seconds between each rep. We finished with a lap of the Meadows and then I ran home. 13.09km in total, with a running time of 1.03:46. Here's the map from tonight, (and here in SVG; if you get confusing messages about a plugin, get it here for free). If you have more problems, please leave a comment!

It's interesting to note on the map the slight discrepancies, where it looks like I've been running over the rooftops (down Morningside Road) and leaping across roads and over houses around the Meadows. My expectation of the watch (and GPS) was that it wouldn't be perfect, so it's interesting to have this as a case study of sorts. There is, of course, the possiblity that the map itself is slightly out. Still, I have a GPS device on my wrist!

K1dd,
The watch and the map are both fine.
Stay out of my garden!
