do a run forth and back and take the average time. That factors in slope and wind.

It is becoming very difficult to find "safe" locations to do this.
I am constantly scouting out the best place for a run (I drive alot during the day in
one of a couple other vehicles). Ideal is out in the middle of nowhere or
freeway with center concrete divider and 2 miles between exits-not easy to find.
I would never under any circumstances pass someone (going my way or the other),
to do a run. My runs are "lone" adventures and you can reduce risk by planning
(time and area).
