    Hey everyone, Carlos here. Just doing another audio test—yeah, you know me, always testing, testing, testing. I’m using the voice memo app to record this one. The pace so far: 9 minutes and 23 seconds per kilometre. What I really want is to analyze my speech and eventually craft a coherent little synopsis.
    Beautiful morning out,
    Whether or not the audio turns out usable doesn’t really matter, since I’ve got my AI friend as a backup. His voice? Kinda American, kinda classy, kinda good.
    Anyway, I’m approaching King’s Pond on a Zone 1 run—which, as you’ll hear in the next few minutes, is tricky to stick to. I’ll be hiking more than running, but there are moments where I can pick up the pace.
    The cool thing about the voice memo app is it can transcribe everything, so even if the audio’s no good, I can just copy the text and drop it into my blog or feed it to the AI for narration. Gotta love technology.
    Right now, I’m holding the phone belly-facing, hoping it’s not catching too much arm swing. Bit odd though—switching to voice recorder seems to have disabled Samantha. I guess I’m finishing this run by feel. Maybe I’ll check my wrist monitor later…
    Ah, wait, I think I heard her! Might’ve just been a volume issue. Okay, let’s try this… Zone 2. Yep, clear as a bell—maybe too clear. Let me turn that down a bit… There we go.
    No more messing around. I’m at the pond, doing my foot loop. Time: 36 minutes. Distance: 3.87 km. Heart rate average: 130 bpm. Pace: 9:16/km.
    I’m already more than halfway to my calorie target—32 minutes in, just under 4 km done—so now it’s time to head home. That’s why I planned the loop this way: I can swing back via Braefoot and rejoin the Feltham Trail, right where this exciting little sound check began.
    Bye for now.
