Had a nice jog this morning - 4 miles around the track in 39:44. Tracked so specifically with my new jogging watch! I entered the numbers into my spreadsheet and that pace - a little under a 10 minute mile, and that seems right. I think some of my earlier numbers might be off, and I feel compelled to point it out!
You know how a track has 6 lanes? Well, when I first started running I think I was sticking to the inside lane. And if you go around that 4 times, it's not really a mile. It's a much shorter distance than if you went around the 6th lane 4 times - which would be more than a mile.
So the last two times I've stayed strictly in the middle lane.
Whew, I feel better for getting that off my chest.

Wow! Maureen, you rock. 4 miles, that is great. No knee pain I hope! I say the inside track is the correct one. In any race the other lanes are adjusted to match the inside lane. I say run in lane 1 and it counts for 4 miles. That is the official ruling. Case closed!
