Yep
I picked a new route this morning, and measured it with the help of Yahoo Maps, so I hope they have accurate distances. According to them if I run up Twin Peaks and back down from my apartment it’s 3.1 miles.
IF, on the other hand, I run back down the other side of Twin Peaks and down Market Street, it looks like an even five miles. And that’s what I did. 5.0 miles in 51:34. Didn’t break the 10-minute mile, but I have Twin Peaks as my excuse.
Also my iPod. I had the desire to find out how many pieces the iPod would smash into as it repeatedly conked out on me today. yeah, it’s a real nice transportable music player, but if it’s so delicate that running screws it up, I’m not there calling it “portable”.
I’ll try one of those arm holder things. My housemate has one and she says she’ll lend it to me. If that helps I’ll buy one myself because it’s no fun having a digital music player that’s even flakier than a CD player.
I bet it has to do with their cache refreshing. I bet almost anything that they fill the memory up with files and then don’t bother to try to replace the music that’s already played with the music that’s going to be played next until it’s all empty. At which point it goes back to relying on being a spinning disk that doesn’t like being jostled.
Apple, get it together and release a digital music player that’s not based on rotating disks. Moving parts my ass. What a ripoff.
Other than the fact that I can only get about 30 minutes of play out of my iPod when running, I love it.
