Forgot to start the Garmin🙄🙄

[Buddy34]

Short run today . Got to the end of the run ready to stop the watch and realised I hadn't even started it. That's a first 😂

[abitwobbly Graduate10]

oops 😄

[FatterPenguin Graduate10]

I dread doing that. It's almost like it's not real if it's not on Strava 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to FatterPenguin]

I can add it manually but it's not the same 😊

[Joster Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I did that for the first time ever earlier this week! And agree - can add it but it’s not the same!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

O dear, nevertheless you enjoyed your run today Buddy34, parkrun tomorrow. 😊

[ForbiddenPlanet Graduate10]

Oh dear. I hate it when that happens. The other week I only realised it wasn't logging my run after several minutes of running, and I "had" to carry on running further at the end until I'd clocked the right number of minutes. 😀

[roseabi]

How annoying! 😊😊😊

[Deals1 Graduate10]

ohhh no! you could manually add it just for your records

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

That's what I did . But i like to have the proof 😂😂

[Deals1 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

😂👍. Yeah me too!!!

[Jacca]

🤣🤣 I’d do something like that ! I’ve only remembered once to map my run !! 🤣🤣

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

You’re not alone - at 2 of my (few) Parkruns I’ve been running for a while before remembering I hadn’t pressed the button! Drat!

[davelinks Graduate10]

Gasp! don't let old floss see this or it's smacked wrists! 😂

I have on occasion mistakenly pressed the wrong button instead of the the start button! 😭

So smacked wrists for me to! 😁

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

😂😂

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I've heard people saying 'don't forget to stop the garmin ' not start😂

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Have forgotten to turn it off a few times. 😂

Are you doing PR. tomorrow?

I have family that live in Troon..

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

I would have been mad if I hadn't started it on Monday as it was my first ever 8k and yes Parkrun tomorrow 🤗

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

Maybe you're mixing me up with someone else, I don't live in Troon 😊

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

I never said you did, but you live in Scotland?

Apparently there's a lovely Parkrun at Troon, wondered if you had done it, hope to do it next time I'm up that way visiting family which isn't often.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

So sorry I thought you thought I lived in Troon.

Think I've been through Troon on way to Ayr.

I've only done Drumpiellier parkrun would like to do others . Especially the one up at Oban- Ganavan Sands parkrun😊😊

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Very nice! Have only done the Whisky distillery at Oban.🍷🤢😊

[davelinks Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

Have done 10 different Parkruns in South East of the UK..

it's good to do some Parkrun tourism.. I know someone who does a different one every week, usually without fail, his work takes him all over the UK so is ideal for touring round..

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

😂😂

[Over62]

Know that feeling, keep calm and carry on😊👍

[Annieapple Administrator]

🙈 Glad it wasn’t one of those record breaking runs. Amazing how attached we are to our gadgets 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Hello Annieapple how are you are you back in the UK yet 🤗

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Buddy34]

Home next Wed thanks Buddy34 About to do my Friday run. Lots of snow and ice but hopefully pavements might be well salted. I did a fab 5.83k on Monday Strength & Flex post) in beautiful sunshine. Weather changes very fast here because of the chinook winds and the mountains. Challenging & interesting!🤣 🤗

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

How great Canada has been for you and your running. Lots of different weather run experiences. Be careful on your run. 🤗🤗

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

😬 oops

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Oh no! 😩😩😩😩

[Hidden]

Poor you, how frustrating! At least it happened on a short run rather than a long one. That would have felt even worse!!

Happy running.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Yes that's what I thought 😂

[linda9389 Graduate10]

... but probably not the last ... I feel your pain, stupidly annoying 🤣

[LeeU 60minGraduate]

I've done that many times on the treadmill but not outside as yet, if you know how far you ran add it in manually via the app.

[caroldavies071969 Graduate10]

That would never happen to me as I look at my watch every few minutes 🤣🤦‍♀️ addicted to my Garmin!!!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Flippin ‘eck...I don’t know what’s worse...not starting your garmin at all or pausing in the middle say to tie your lace etc and forgetting to restart it...and yes, it’s not the same when you have to add it manually...but you did it Buddy34 ...we believe you 👍🏼😁

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Lol, putting "we believe you" makes it sound like you don't Mummycav ...I do Buddy34 even if MC doesn't 😂😆

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

😂😂😂😂 Don't worry I didn't forget to start it today . I ran a sub 30 at parkrun and I have the proof 😂😂

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Wowee, well done speedy!...now that's one you want to have proof of, so you can look at it every time you need something to smile about 👍😀🏃‍♀️

[Saxart Graduate10]

It's so frustrating when that happens. I've done that on my park run. Set it all up but didn't look to check it started after pressing the button due to the start mayhem

[Run46 Graduate10]

Lol, good job it wasn't your long run or you'd have had to guess your distance..."Yup, that's the 10K done!" 😉

[Katnap Graduate10]

Probably won't be the last time you do that either.... Welcome to the club!
