trail running 50:12 3.74 mi (13:25 / mi)
ahr:138 max:152 rhr:51 weight:141lbs shoes: mudclaw 270
Bike trails on the south side of Norwottuck. Enough snow to be a bit of a nuisance, or more likely my legs were just tired. In any case, I didn't seem to be moving very quickly even though I was running the whole time. Just one set of human footprints to follow, and they were old, from before the inch of snow today, but still useful in following the windy trail. Lots and lots of animal trails, though none fresh. I assume a bunch of them were deer.
I would like to be able to claim that the 305 was underestimating the distance because the trail doubles back on itself more than the track seems to show, but doing that will just get me a bunch of crap from the usual suspect(s). But perhaps I will do the route again with the thing set on recording every second to see if it makes a difference.
Snowing lightly, about 25F, perfectly pleasant out. Another day where getting out the door seemed remarkably easy.
This American Life, included a fine story about United States v. Reynolds regarding the state secrets privilege, regarding which I quote the following from Wkipedia. Quite amazing....
The privilege was first officially recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States in the 1953 decision United States v. Reynolds (345 U.S. 1). A military airplane, a B-29 Superfortress bomber, crashed. The widows of three civilian crew members sought accident reports on the crash but were told that to release such details would threaten national security by revealing the bomber's top-secret mission. The court held that only the government can claim or waive the privilege, and it “is not to be lightly invoked”, and last there “must be a formal claim of privilege, lodged by the head of the department which has control over the matter, after actual personal consideration by that officer.” The court stressed that the decision to withhold evidence is to be made by the presiding judge and not the executive.
As a footnote to the founding case establishing the privilege, in 2000, the accident reports were declassified and released, and it was found that the assertion that they contained secret information was fraudulent. The reports did, however, contain information about the poor condition of the aircraft itself, which would have been very compromising to the Air Force's case. Many commentators have alleged government misuse of secrecy in this landmark case."
