Day -6 of training
Money raised so far: $0
216 days left to fundraise
TIME GOES BY
Although I've been running on my own recently, I only have a vague idea of how far I've been going. My method of measuring distance was to run a route, then drive my car approximately the same route, and watch the odometer. Since this probably isn't the most accurate method, I decided to go this morning to the track on the Stanford campus and run 3 miles. Our first training run is 3 miles, and will determine which pace group we get put in, so I wanted some idea of which group I might be in. Fast forward 12 very boring laps around the track, and it turns out that it takes me 35 minutes, 20 seconds to run 3 miles. Pretty slow. Assuming I get put in the 13 minute/mile pace group (they slow you down by a minute or so,) this means that it should take me about 5 hours and 40 minutes to run a marathon. Holy poo. That's a lot of running.

I check all the distances on mapquest before doing the run, but my program does distances vs. time. If you plot the route out using something like mapquest, you can get a rough idea to the hundredth of a mile on how far you went! Shhweeeet! The only sucky thing is that it often wants to pick the most optimal route for you, so you can't just say "Dewey & Farragut to E Hillsdale & Edgewater", you have to kind of step along a few intersections at a time. Other than that, it works really well!
