2) Even a static location might be off dozens of metres.

The inaccuracy of non-military GPS devices might have been a reason behind the initial response from #EdmontonMarathon organizers regarding August 16 observations.

1) For what it is worth (given recent #EdmontonMarathon #ThingsThatMakeYouGoEff )…
non-military GPS devices are not "accurate", being off 0.6 percent to two percent depending on a number of factors (including the proximity of trees and buildings).

I was inspired this morning while cheering on the @edmontonmarathon runners, so I posted a freshly edited story at ko-fi.com/dirklancer/posts this afternoon.

I'd hoped for a bit of a longer run, but that felt just right today.

I'm so damn tired of the treadmill but the trails are still icy. 🫤

Today I spoiled myself with a little sleep-in, so a bit of a late start today.

New month, new goals.
