SCHEDULE: Run, Stretch

RUN (from Nike+ SportBand):
      
Length: 3.93 miles
       Time: 31:30
       Pace: 8:00
       Calories Burned: 609

CONDITIONS: Mild, sunny

NOTES: Not a great run today. Due to some unforseen difficulties (like my term paper being corrupted – long story), I was unable to go for my long run today. So I settled for about 4 miles. I chose a moderately hilly course, with a couple gradual climbs rather than some of the steep brutal ones that I have been encountering on some of my runs lately. I wish my pace was a bit better, but I was not able to warm up as well, and, as usual, the hills gave me some issues.

Today was the first day that I ran with my new Nike+ SportBand. I have been looking for a slightly more reliable way to calculate all of my stats, and I read some good reviews about it so I thought that it was worth the investment. For the first day, it seemed to operate pretty well. I entered in the information just to see what my old system (MapMyRun) said, and this is what I got: 4.17 miles run, a pace of 7:33, and 638 calories burned. I will reserve final judgement on it until after this weekends’ race, where I will know the distance and my time, then I will be able to see how accurate it really is. While I may not be certain how accurate it really is, I will still use the stats from the Nike+ SportBand this week.
