I can admit it I'm a bit of a techie. So when it comes to my running I've been using a GPS app for my blackberry and using the information to analyze my progress. Now this has led to a couple of observations about myself.
First, I need to pay a little more attention to where I'm going. I start out with a planned route and distance. As I'm out there running listening to the music and thinking about the info that the running app is telling me I loose track of where I am. I end up turning a block early or late (usually early) and not making the distance that I have planned. Of course I end up cursing myself every time.
Secondly, I have no patience. After each workout I hit the upload button and the little wheel spins for what feels like forever. After 30 seconds or so I get mad because I don't think it's doing anything and restart my phone. I try to synchronize the data once it restarts and the little wheel appears again. I get mad and start pressing buttons. Now I have discovered that if I had just let the little wheel spin until it was finished things would have a) taken a lot less time and b) the data would not be there 3 times.
