Great runs this morning. WRFB—can’t you change a few light bulbs? I thought that was your specialty.
What Lou said. The Garmin's close enough for me. I'm sure there's some variation but, hey, I'm running intervals with elevation changes too! I don't obsess about the precision. I just try to get the general run done. Related question: Is the public allowed to use the track at your local public schools (when students aren't using it, of course)? It's a pet peeve of mine that a high school about 3 miles away has a nice track locked up behind tall chain-link fence. I'm curious what other localities do.

Ask the school coaches or superintendent. They may not realize tax payers like to run on facilities they paid for.
Be safe. Be kind.
I've been through all that. A synposis of responses to my inquiry from various authorities: 1. Don't know, no one's ever asked before. 2. No, school facilities are for student use only. 3. Allowing the public on the track would result in excessive "wear and tear" on the track. 4. We can't unlock the gates because of the danger of vandalism. My real question is what do other localities do? Is simply locking up the tracks common practice?

Holly - I have pictures of the beast, but I haven't figured out how to download them here. Computer technoloy is not one of my strong points.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
