Slight Malfunction…

future self

I understand that GPS isn’t meant for indoor usage.  But right now, it suits my purpose to use the same program that I’ve been using, RUNKEEPER.

There’s other programs/applications out there, but I choose this one because I am able to program the INTERVALS that I choose to run. 

This week is 2:30 minutes of walking and 1:15 minutes of running. Rinse and Repeat. Ad Nauseum.  [And you other athletes out there know exactly what I mean.]

I’m not able to turn off the GPS and still hear the Interval prompts, it’s a shortcoming with the program, but one I’m able to overlook.  The GPS malfunctioned indoors. So what?  I was still able to hear the Interval prompts and that’s more important to me than the mileage.  There will come a point [SOON – PLEASE?] that I will be able to continue my training out of doors. 

But in the meantime – I’ll use the GPS then edit and manually enter the time/mileage; today was 2.01 MILES.

Works for me…
