First 7k ... and Garmin didn't record it!

[lourunrun]

I am loosely following JuJu's Magic Plan - taking a bit longer than the 8 weeks to complete and repeating weeks to build up slowly. I ran my first 7k today and when I reached my finishing spot I pressed 'save' on my Garmin Forerunner and waited expectantly for it to tell me that I had set a 'New Record' for longest run ... but nothing. Oh well, I thought, it'll show in my records on Garmin Connect ... so when I got home I tried to upload it onto my phone, but no! OK, so I'll connect it to my pc. This showed that I had done some activity, but didn't record it as a run. So I ran Garmin Express and it told me that I had a corrupt file and did I want to remove it? At this point I had the presence of mind to add the basic data from my watch manually then tried to follow the link to remove it which took me to an invalid address. After much Googling I managed to find out how to remove the corrupt file from my pc and my watch. I've recorded a short walk to test it out and all seems OK - so fingers crossed my next record will be recorded properly!

What a nuisance that it didn’t record properly, but it sounds like you have the basic info. And anyway, YOU know you ran for 7K. Well done 👏👏👏

Oh no! It's such a pain when tech misbehaves 🙄 Don't let it affect that wonderful feeling though, congratulations on your first 7k! 🥳🤸‍♀️🎉💪🏃‍♀️

Its so annoying when this happens. I also had a corrupt file a while back and thankfully it didn't happen again.

Congratulations on your 7k👏👏👏
