I think Nike Running App is F***ing with me. Last week it told me that I ran 4.44 miles in 51:09 minutes. This time, it tells me that I ran short of 4 miles in about 45 minutes, but here's the kicker...I RAN THE SAME ROUTE AT A FASTER PACE (At least I think so anyways). This app needs to be calibrated right.
Run 3: 05/17/10
Distance: 3.79 miles
Time: 44:47
Pace: 11'47" per mile
Calories: 429
Weight: Dunno...
Short-term Goal: Do 3 miles at a steady jog pace. I got side cramps tonight.
Long-term Goal: lose 15 lbs.
Not really sure how accurate this run was, except for the time. It was almost a whole Ray LaMontagne Album.

Is it calibrated at all? It used to pull that nonsense on me when I first got it, and then I calibrated it finally. It's fairly accurate now, although I don't think it's perfect...
First of all per our previous discussion - http://www.fleastcoastrunners.com/Marathon_Schedule.html - here is a calendar of the N.A Marathons/Half Marathons - so you can find something that works for you
Second, it might need to be recalibrated or maybe you could take a different perspective on your route - for example:
I run more or less the same route, I might turn a street earlier, but anyways, same route-ish. I have stopped timing myself and instead have looked at it this way - How do I feel? Am I actually running those hills now or walking up them as I used to etc.? I know that once I can comfortably run the route I will add 2ish miles by running the bridge too, and so on and so forth. It is what works for you - personally, I am happier when it is not me and my clock.
I will say though that I know I am coming from a different place - and on this note I'm going to skip away and blog about that...
