I'm a Huge Spaz

Mapmyrun, please stop screwing with your iPhone app. Your latest update has turned me into a huge running spaz! Normally, there is a very pleasant woman that chimes in every mile with my distance and average pace per mile. Today though, she changed from average pace per mile to actual pace for that mile. So I was all over the board today and had no idea why...I just thought that I had KILLED some miles when I went from an 11:35 average to 10:30 average!

Also, after the first mile, she said this phrase: Walgreens is behind you now. WTF does that mean? I do not pass a Walgreens on my route, nor do I know where one is located. I like to think I'm somewhat knowledgable about running lingo; I understand what IT band syndrome is, what fartleks are, what a tempo run is, how to prevent chafing, but I do not know what the Walgreens reference means. Anyone??

Here are my splits (and yes, I know, I went out too fast!):
1 mi-10:35
2 mi-10:24
3 mi-11:04
4 mi-11:35
5 mi-11:08
6 mi-11:17
7 mi-11:24
8 mi-10:30

Miles logged: 8.0
