20 - kilometers, that is. That's how far I want to run this week. I'm gradually working out how to use my tiny un-communicative GPS but a decent run on Saturday or Sunday should do the job.

I bought the smallest one I could find which happens to be waterproof but doesn't record altitude. So one of my tasks is to figure out how to obtain spot heights for lat/lon positions and to be able to draw an altitude profile.

It's quite fun though - once I can get the bloody thing to record. I got a 'as the crow flies' on-way trip from a lunchtime run on Monday which is about 7.5k, panted my way through a GPS recorded 8.76 on Wednesday. The maths they speak for themselves... They don't tell you your shins hurt - I'm trying to establish at what point orthotics become necessary to correct my right pronation as opposed to it just being 'getting used to'.
