Monday again
LOL maybe I will make this a biweekly updated blog :)
I have run a few times this month, but in the wake of some discouraging family news my heart hasn't really been in it and it has been easy to come up with reasons not to run. I have managed to overcome some of that by booking a flight to go see said family in a few weeks.
On a brighter note, I called Garmin Tech support today and after sitting on hold for a minimum of 45 minutes probably much longer than that, Justin answered the phone and miraculously resolved the problem I have been having with my Forerunner 305 since I got it. I had chalked the problem up to user error many times but finally decided there had to be a serious problem with the unit itself. Turns out it was the unit but nothing a super sneaky reboot wouldn't cure, so now I can run intervals without staring at my watch, it politely beeps at me when it is time to switch from run to walk and vice versa, LOL which in turn allowed me to put in a longer run mile wise, cause you can go faster when you can watch where you are going instead of staring at your watch.. Funny that.
Anyway much thanks to Justin since the interval option was one of the main reason I begged for a 305 for Mother's Day.
So again I will try and be more reliable with the updates, but for the most part the mileage on the side should be pretty accurate even if i don't post specifics :) ¶ Monday, August 14, 2006
