Okay, the good news: I seem to be getting my legs back, as I did my regular run/jog at my best pace yet, with no stops or walk breaks. The bad news, aside from the fact that exercise doesn’t seem to be helping my funky mood much, is that my iPhone GPS app is apparently not going to be much help in figuring out my pace as I continue to improve. iPhone’s GPS can let you down at the worst times when you’re trying to use it while driving - these maps really illustrate just how bad it can be. Is it just me, or does iPhone GPS seem to be getting worse over the past year? Anyway…
Here’s my route, as plotted on mapmyrun.com:
Now, here are two different maps generated by iPhone app Pathtracks. Apparently I like to swim across Town Lake (Ladybird Lake, whatever).
#1 -
And #2 -
Oh well, I love my iPhone, but sheesh… the GPS can be downright pathetic. I’m outside, few obstructions… should be pretty ideal conditions.
You’d think.
