Comments: Exercised at American River College's stadium track this evening. Warmed up for five minutes, then mentally calculated out what I thought was a 3.1 mile course--nine laps, at three laps per mile. After finishing, my right abs ached from the run and I gasped for air. On my cool down the realization struck me that what I had run most likely represented less than a 5,000-meter run--since I ran loops on a 400-meter track, 12.5 laps in lane one represent 5,000 meters (I ran in lane five). My reasoning for three laps per mile came from the old sign on the retaining wall next to the track by the west bleachers (now removed). I believe it said four laps per mile for lane one, and three laps per mile for lanes five and six. When I got home I used gmap-pedometer.com to map out one lap in lane five, and discovered it amounts to 427 meters (0.2655 miles) (assuming gmap-pedometer's correct--and a rough trace of lane one comes out to 0.4004 km!). x_x So 9.1 laps * 0.2655 equals only 2.41 miles! It's a disappointment, but means I ran the miles in ~8:23.
