I’ll keep this one short and sweet because, well it’s late and I have no words of wisdom…save one. Did you know that, to be effective, satellite uplink and downlinks are often placed on high places with clear views to the sky. This helps with signal acquisition and also places them safely out of high-traffic areas. Unfortunately, these dishes also live on ESPN’s 5K course. What does that mean? Another hill! I’m not yet ready to make this a rule but I’m getting close… when making a comeback to running, you might just want to avoid running a lot of hills…I’ll let you know tomorrow!
