Paula Radcliffe

http://bit.ly/5KWpJW

I had a long day at the office today, so when I got home, I just put on the sweatpants, and sprinted around the block a few times till my Nike+ told me I had gone a little over a mile.  At the end of the run, a European female voice came on and congratulated me for achieving my personal best time for a mile.  Turns out it was Paula Radcliffe, and she just wanted to hack into my iPhone and tell me how awesome I was.

I wonder why she didn't call to say anything yesterday when Nike+ said I ran a 6:45 minute mile?  If you look at yesterday's graph, it shows a real drastic up and down pace, but I stayed pretty steady the whole time.  I think I should probably start using gmap pedometer to calibrate each run to make sure I'm not "cheating" myself.

Oh well, thanks anyway Paula!
