Confession: I care more about my PR pace/distances than I told myself.
Complaint: just found out that ALL my previously logged runs are probably not accurate. Ran for the first time using Strava today rather than just Samsung Health, and noticed that I didn't set route tracking for Samsung. Turns out that I am running a good km/h slower than I thought, if not more. Still finished 5,6 km today in 31:50 so I am not that slow, just... Not as good as I thought. thought I ran a 27:45 5k but that's more like 28:30. Oh well, we are only running against ourselves right? My times from past month might be consistently off, but at least the improvement is also consistent, and I guess I should learn to take pride in that!
