Shock I tell you

This morning I set out to run a full three miles as the second run in the Nike+ 5k training. As you can see in the Nike+ chart below I walked the beginning part to warm up and then took off for the rest. It was quite a different feeling than my previous three mile runs. I had some side aches and I just felt that I was going at a snails pace. But I finished and I feel good now that it is over. :)



And here is the map from Runkeeper Pro:



As you can see the two are at different distances. Nike+ is longer because of the walking at the beginning as well as the fact that the calibration was off. My best guess is about three tenths of a mile because I recalibrated at .25 miles afterwards and it showed .28. Comes out to .36 over the course of three miles.

Oddly enough, Runkeeper Pro was off as well. But the nice thing about it is that you can adjust the map to be more accurate and it then changes the distance. On this morning's run it showed 2.98 and had me basically going through buildings on the run. With some slight good faith editing it now shows 3.15 miles in 35:14, a pace of 11:11. I can do better and I will show you over the course of the coming weeks!

Also, my net caloric intake (total calories minus calories burned from specific exercise) from yesterday was 100 under my allotted amount. I will keep it going today.
