I've really enjoyed this challenge. It adds more purpose to my runs. I think I've got one more hard run in me by friday, but I don't think it will be enough to pass you up. I'm going to try an out and back route this time, probably the river trail. Isn't that where you did your 23:20?
Yeah, that's where I ran my 23:20. I'd like to take one more shot at it, but I've been so damned sore. But I have more than a sneaking suspicion that 23:20 isn't going to be enough for even second place with you lurking. I think I'm going to have to beat it. Damn you goose and piney!

Hey Piney, make sure to get me your nike screen name so I can add you to our challenge. Is it going to be the same as your cg name?

I tried getting one under 30 minutes this morning... Made it half way. I suck.

I tried one last time this morning and got the exact same time as my previous best. So I guess SteelBlue is the man, unless Big Piney plays the spoiler with a last minute scorcher.

Do we have another 5K challenge set up yet?

The calibration makes a significant difference for me. I don't know if others have had the same experience. BTW, you're added to the challenge but you have to accept it now.

I won't get anywhere close, but I am going to run one last time tonight and try to at least end with a personal best.

I didn't calibrate mine and it is pretty dang accurate. I've got a couple of places where I know exactly how far it is and it has always been within about .01 miles of the mark. It pretty amazing really. I assume they use an average steplength most runners use, so as long as you're not freakishly long-legged or a midget you probably fall pretty close to the normal range.
