sensor cal & 3 miles at 157 bpm

Calibrated the Nike+Pod sensor today on a high school 400m rack. I walked 1 lap, then jogged 1 lap, and then did 3 more miles on gravel track. measured 3.1. close enough. my mile pace was 13.5min/mi and I did not walk ANY in the 3 miles. Maybe on Monday, I can jog the whole thing including the nasty hill. The park has a small rise which is much smaller than the 2 hills on the 3 mile path we are on during the week.

not bad. I think I'll stay at 157 a bit. that seems to be a natural pace for me right now.

It was a bit chilly this morning. I did not think to wear gloves, but my long sleeve moisture shirt has longish stretchy sleeves, so I pulled them into my hands for some help. I am finding the 3 mile length to be OK but getting to e a bit boring into the 1.5-2.5 mile portion. Hopefully as I continue to progress in fitness and improve speed, this will become less of an issue.
