Today marked my first test of the Timex Speed and Distance watch I recently ordered in the mail. I'm not so sure about the accuracy of the reading as there's a lot of overhead cover in the area I was running, so there were probably gaps in coverage. The watch takes some time to correct for overhead cover and changes of pace, so it works better in places where there is a relatively even pace. Still, it was useful as it turned into a good pacing tool - although I did feel pretty tired today when I was having to work pretty hard to get in anything approximating 8:30 pace or so. It did illustrate the variances I do get when I'm going uphill and downhill. Time to work on strength and speed...again.
