Go choke yourself

Some later fixes for orthography.

A little bit of GIS mapping on my part using USAPhotoMaps has enlightened me about one major issue about my run routes:

I have misjudged distances on my routes, and consequently, my splits are not what I thought they were. This is actually to my benefit.

What I thought was 1.4 is 1.5.
What I thought was 2.0 is 2.1.
What I thought was 2.4 is 2.5.

The aggregate mileage for my abbreviated short loop is not 3.8 as previously thought, but actually 3.76 (for all intents and purposes, my guesstimate was about right, within 0.04mi).

What I thought was 4.8mi actually is 5.1mi for my short loop, and my long loop turns into 7.62 ("...millimeter, full metal jacket" - a fairly easy number for me to remember) from what I thought was 7.2.

So...based on split recalculation, personal record splits for the long loop:
1.5 11:13 11:13 07:29
2.1 27:34 16:21 07:47
1.5 38:49 11:15 07:30
2.5 57:33 18:44 07:30

This is pretty encouraging!

  1. Yeah, go choke yourself...

    PT test tomorrow. Gotta figure what I mantra I want to prep with on the drive into the test location.

    'Live Angle' by Hybrid comes to mind, but I don't think I've ever prepped for a PT test with, well, TRANCE.

    Don't think The Reputation will make an appearance tomorrow morning. Still trying to decide. Something just doesn't sound right about using the Smiths, either.

    I could always cart out 'Time3' by Journey for JWER's benefit...
