Good Bad & The Monkey
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

You guys are a bunch of sarcastic bastards. I'm loving every minute of the time I spend reading your posts!

Must be Thursday.

Yes. Uncertainty. Rotational velocity. We get it. But what about gravity?
It would make sense (without doing any math to back this up) that the closer you are to the equator the more that gravity would be a factor because of the flattening effect of years of rotation about a single axis.
Thus we can conclude that this thread either was or wasn't a huge waste of time depending on ones' frame of reference.

Perhaps, but the actual amount of time wasted varies by aptitude.

gObLuE - What about the correction for direction vs. Earth's rotation? Can you factor that in? Traveling with the rotation, with each footstroke the runner gets a momentary propulsion forward, and causes and equal and opposite reaction in the spin of the Earth, thus slowing it down. But running against the spin causes the runner to slow, while speeding up the Earth. Does this mean I should look for races that travel predominantly eastward?
