I dread doing that. It's almost like it's not real if it's not on Strava ๐Ÿคฃ

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

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. ๐Ÿ˜€

Youโ€™re not alone - at 2 of my (few) Parkruns Iโ€™ve been running for a while before remembering I hadnโ€™t pressed the button! Drat!

Gasp! don't let old floss see this or it's smacked wrists! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I have on occasion mistakenly pressed the wrong button instead of the the start button! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

So smacked wrists for me to! ๐Ÿ˜

I would have been mad if I hadn't started it on Monday as it was my first ever 8k and yes Parkrun tomorrow ๐Ÿค—

Maybe you're mixing me up with someone else, I don't live in Troon ๐Ÿ˜Š

davelinksGraduate10 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.

Buddy34Graduate10 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 parkrun๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

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..

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!๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿค—

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.

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.

Flippin โ€˜eck...I donโ€™t know whatโ€™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, itโ€™s not the same when you have to add it manually...but you did it Buddy34 ...we believe you ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜

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

Lol, good job it wasn't your long run or you'd have had to guess your distance..."Yup, that's the 10K done!" ๐Ÿ˜‰
