Irrational Anger
AARRGGGHHH SOMEONE IS GOING TO F#@$ING PAY FOR THIS!!!!
When I started running like a mofo, I was using the fancy Made in China Pedometer/Chronometer/Assometer to check mainly how long I was jogging for. I was a bit skeptical of the step counter because I noticed it would skip steps for absolutely no reason. I was even more unsure of the calorie counting thing so I ignored it completely (but apparently running for half an hour barely equates a can of soda so now I've mostly given up on junk food).
Anyway, it multiplies the stride (I inputted 75 cm because I can't tell) by the number of steps it miscounts (according to the stupid thing, about 5900) and it spews out the distance. In fact, according to the above diagram from RunningAHEAD.com, I had been vastly underestimating how far I had been running.
So, at most one of the following statements is true:
- I have been running about 4.4 km for the last few days.
- I have been running about 4.8 km for the last few days, given 10% error.
- I have been running about 5.0 km for the last few days, given a ruler, a calculator, Google Maps, and a curvy monitor.
- I have been running 5.23 km according to Google Maps and this tool.
- Or the most popular: I have not been running any of these distances because EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN GADGETTYTHING IS SHITTING ME.

There's an extra loop there for no reason, I'm not sure if it makes the .23 extra km.
No, that's accurate. I took all those extra streets because I thought I wasn't making enough distance.
But you got that fancy podometer for free (not taking into account effort and donations for the cause).
I'm just blowing steam. I don't think it's a bad thing, just inaccurate. Like, by about a thousand steps.
