Nike Mission no.4: Eclipsed yet not Enough(?)

I had to put off running Nike Fuel Mission no.5 today for a couple of reasons: 1st) It rained (or was raining) tonite and I didn't really want to risk any injury (physical or to my "pride" ---its like my 10th attempt at it already this year) even if I had the chance of getting a Nike+ Stormproof Badge (yeah, right, like I'd get one of those this year (>_<) --the badges have been put on a "Surprise Spell" by Nike+ Running (you can read all about it here on my Nike+ BadgerSpots blog). My 2nd second reason is well really a "technical problem" since I still cannot access my Nike Missions.com account. It's somewhat a "long story" -- partly which I'm responsible and well, mostly because I feel that the Nike+ over-all online experience just "sucks" sometimes because the way I see it Nike has 3 distinct websites that don't seem to have quality control, coherence or proper integration across the Nike-ingdom (Nike.com + NikePlus and NikeMissions) Anyways, I'm still waiting for Nike Running on FB to get my reset request done, and hopefully "resolve" the issue. I did however went back to Mission No.4 below:

SUCCESS!!!! (at last! well, it was just my 2nd attempt...and it's 60minutes...and yet, it was close! )

"Surprisingly" however, I did NOT "break" any records on that "successful" mission...which I ironically do when I "fail" a mission...go figure! (See previous post)  Anyways, here's my corresponding stats for the above mission:

Average Pace: 9:52 per mile (which kinda "disappoints" me a bit :(

Like I said, kinda "disappointed" coz I was hoping to at least maintain a pace below the 9-minute mark every mile...(yeah right! ;-) but in fairness to this particular Mission, I did my runs outside the village (or suburbs, if you like) so I ran into a lot of cars and foot traffic along the way which "considerably slowed" my pace somewhat. I know I could have maintained a much faster pace if I just run around in circles inside the village. Well, as long as the mission was a success....uhmm...I still "complained" especially in the discrepancies between the NikeFuel points credited in the NikeFuel Mission results and my actual result on NikePlus.
