I admit it, I'm sloppy. Or carefree. Or just don't give enough of a shit to agonize over my exact mileage each week, or each run. I round either to the nearest half-mile or nearest mile and I'm often guessing. I figure I run a little more than I put in my log, when I'm even keeping one, but I suck so it doesn't matter.
Now that we're in the age of personal GPS units, a lot of people I know go out to the tenth, and occasionally the hundredth. But this, which I discovered because its author just ran Comrades, is just plain weird:
This person is a hell of a runner (she obviously over-races by most standards, but seems to have made winning small marathons her niche) but I am just fascinated by this:
101.1285 (week of Mercedes Marathon)
Really? She knows how far she's run to within about five inches? And it's no typo, because a number of other weeks are listed out to three decimal points.
I dunno, I just love it.
