126 LostTrailRunner Podcast

This is the 2nd podcast of the year, if I can get these things out at least once a month I will call it a win for now. I went on a buying spree, which has nothing to do with my running. Well not directly, 1st I got a new phone at the end of last year (which I have started to use for recording the podcast) I am using the Hindenburg field recorder app on my iPhone because it will load directly into my Hindenburg Journalist software on my Mac. My new Mac just arrived on the 22nd of February. That was actually my 3rd purchase. My second purchase was a new Apple Watch series 4. I didn’t think that the Apple Watch would be as practical for running as my Garmin, but I found an app called iSmoothRun. That app is great, I can make customized runs just as I could with my Garmin and the app will send all the information to any other running program that I use, such as STRAVA. The only drawback that the Apple Watch has that I have found so far is the battery. I can get one good day out of a charge, I don’t think I can get any more out of it. If I turned off certain functions such as heart rate it would probably last longer, but I didn’t buy it to not use the functions that it has. Why buy something and then turn everything off that uses battery, might as well have a plain old wrist watch. I just completed my schedule for the first part of the year. I have 3 races planned, they are all 3 trail races and short in distance. I have one planned for March 9th A 2nd planned for May 4th And the 3rd planned for June 15th The longest trail race is only 4.3 miles, so you can see when I say short I mean short. Peachtree is always on my list of races and this year will be my 40th Peachtree. Well this February we have had the coldest (in the 20s) and the warmest (in the high 70s) so far this winter. Recorded on an iPhone Xs using the Hindenburg Field Recorder app. Edited on Hindenburg Journalist software.
