A NUMBERS GAME, PART DEUX
Buddy was nice enough to lend me his talking pedometer. After getting over the fact that it was in metric units, and vowing to never ever use its "music" feature, I decided to use it yesterday to try once more to measure the distance of my morning run. You input your stride distance and it counts the number of steps you make to measure distance. I brought a tape measure outside, stepped in a puddle of water, ran a bit, and measured the distance between footsteps. After doing a quick inches to centimeters conversion in my head (you already know that this is going to go badly), I set my stride distance in the pedometer, and off I went.
About 40 minutes later, I came back to my computer to do the km to miles conversion. The first thing I realized is that my inches to centimeters conversion was off (stupid head), so my stride distance was off. Fortunately, I still had the number of steps, so I recalculated the distance. The pedomter claims that the distance is 3.8 miles, which is more in-line with my 10:20-10:30 mile time. So Mapquest lied, but only by about .2 miles. Woo!
