Another fall and GPS malfunction - Evening Run

I just finished a 7.05km running that lasted about 0hh:28mm:23ss !

Well, yeah, another fall... Already fell like a month ago! I don't remember falling while just running before these two. What is going on? Luckily, just like last time, no big deal, just a few small bruises, bloody knee and hands, and some road burns. But unlike last time, it wasn't in a secluded area, it was about half a mile after starting, and in front of several cars waiting at the light. At least, I got back up super quick, almost like one of these parkour moves. I'm sure these people admired my rolling technique... I can't even blame the visibility, because it was an area with plenty of street lamps. Anyways, it didn't slow me down too much, and I'll probably be sore for just a couple days, and that should be it.

Other issue tonight, my GPS. Not sure exactly what happened, but as you can see from the route on the picture, it recorded a very strange trajectory. In some area, the shape is actually kind of correct, but off by at least a street block! So, Samsung Health says it was only 3.67 miles. Strava always applies their correction factor when it syncs with Samsung Health, and it says 4.38 miles. Surprisingly, Strava is very close to the real distance that I mapped using MapMyFitness tool. But it also changed the time from 32 minutes, to 28 minutes and change. Anyways, I know it was about 4.4 miles in about 32 minutes, that's sufficient data for tonight.
Near the end, both my headlamp and visibility vest ran out of battery around the same time. What are the odds of that? And now that I think about it, my home automation system has been acting up all day. Is there some kind of solar flare going on or what?

Anyhow, it was a decent run, I felt as though I could have run much longer, and probably a bit faster. That's the good part. Till the next, keep Exhausting!

Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks. No big deal, I just have to pay attention a bit more when I run.
Well, in case my report comes in late, as usual, I just checked my steps for yesterday in the dapp, and it was 26667.

thx, @ptaku is in my time zone, but he publishes late, for "yesterday". Haven't heard from him today yet

If I had been in the final (which I wasn't anywhere close to...got a solid beating from @ptaku in the Semi), you'd have won, I had 15k yesterday
