Today, I had the pleasure of running with Dan Wood during my lunch break. He is the fastest man to hang his hat from 8-5 at Gyrus ACMI. Dan is also running the Marathon and has been a big help with my ongoing questions. He offered to run with me a few months back and our schedules have finally lined up for the frigid February afternoon run.
It's nice to run during work - it's actually glorious! The sun is shining and it's very nice to stretch my legs. A midwork run is basically recess, which we all can look back on very fondly, right? I played tag during recess with no safe zone. It was straight up running/sprinting for 25 minutes and it was the game that we loved. Anyway, I love the work run, but I look like a mess for the rest of the day! I'm on the fence if the pleasures out weigh the my disaster state. It's just that a morning run is too early for me and my sensitive body. I love my 5pm run, but it's too dangerous. And on top of it, Dan is fast runner.
Dan has an amazing little gadget that ACCURATELY displays mileage, and pace per mile. His device said, we traveled a little over 6 miles and averaged a 7:50 mile pace! It felt great! My little Nike device says I ran just under 6 miles and ran at a 8:53 mile pace! Have I been running at a sub 8 minute pace all along? I think so! I apologize for the amount of exclamation points, but a one minute is a big deal and I'm faster than I thought. I might want to calibrate the Nike device... All the might be my own fault? Comments? Suggestions? Discussion?

I read somewhere that you might have to recalibrate your NikePlus on a monthly basis because your training could be changing your stride. Have you tried that?
