Blog ≫ 2018 ≫ Reasons this morning's run was good

Hard to compare my run with friends. I see I did a really good time compare to Ro, he published his map and his stat this week. Five reasons my run was advantageous:

  1. I run in pretty much a straight line out and back, not much stopping and turning
  2. I run on the flat, no hills - I really slow down if I face a slight incline
  3. My time and distance starts when I start and stop running, doesn't include any walking warm up time. This is the fitbit doing this for me...

  5. I was running facing a beautiful sun rise on the way back this morning...
