25 minutes easy and Garmin woes

[SueAppleRun]

I decided to use the other Garmin, it's a forerunner 645, so last night after a lot of messing about it was all set up ready. This morning is beautiful, my neighbour decided to walk not run so we walked together for 5 minutes, I set up NRC 25 minute easy run and Garmin for a run, no distance was showing on my watch so I scrolled down and found heartrate, I kept this below 150 which is good for me, kept going, round the old golf course, dogs, people, birds, sunshine and really green trees, wonderful, paths wind in and out round and about, I really enjoyed this run which Garmin didn't record at all 🤣🤣🤣 not that it really matters because NRC gave me 2.36 kilometres at a nice slow pace.

That's 3 ticked off, another pound in my shoe pot and some lovely endorphins to make me smile.

Run happy all, I took some photos while I waited for my neighbour to get back to start. I've chosen the one by the raised gardens where I started and finished my run 😄

Thanks, mind you I'll need a paint pot at the rate I'm buying paint, it's been a good morning

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Glad you had a good morning!I even managed 2x1 minute jogs in my walk today 🙂

Now that's really good news

people ask why I run with a garmin and a Fitbit! This scenario is the answer twice last week I didn’t set my garmin off! But set Fitbit off! 😂 so you are not alone

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to BGood]

Ha ha 😂 I vaguely remember my daughter muttering about hers when she first got it then explaining she'd forgotten to push the button the second time. My other one is a touch screen so I'm used to tapping and go, but I like this one for now and will get used to it

Sounds like a lovely run and also lovely pics. Enjoy the rest of the day 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Runninggirl59]

Thanks, I've shopped and spent a fortune on paint whoops, but I'd planned to decorate

[Runninggirl59 60minGraduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

You are certainly having a productive day!

[Roxdog Graduate10]

The gardens look lovely and a dose of endorphins sounds good!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Roxdog]

It was a great but if time out, I love it there and last year they built all the paths almost just for us to run along, they wind all around and through the old golf course and it's fairly easy to get a 5k there

Well done great photo , Happy painting. We’re doing fence painting this week, sun supposed to shine all week

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Fence painting sounds fun, I don't know what colour I want so kitchen first and it's going to be white for now. I'm glossing all the woodwork too so it'll be gleaming,

[Doris8 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

We used to have a wallpaper and paint shop so plenty of paint left. Mr D going to mix 2 together to see if we can get colour near to the existing colour on fence. It’s the smelly paint oil, not the water based , so brushes will be chucked out.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Doris8]

Sounds great fun 😁 I'm wondering what to do because I don't think the colours I want exist

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Sounds brilliant, despite the Garmin malfunction! Good old coach Bennett didn't let you down though 👏👏👏

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you, no he didn't, he kept talking til the end

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Mummycav]

I'm not pushing too hard and enjoying myself x

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10]

Well considering you mention woe and tech in your heading, I finished reading your run report feeling nothing but happy vibes! 😊 well done for outdoing the tech 🌞💪

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Cowladyrunning]

A different watch is always a challenge but I like this one so thought I'd use it for a while, I'm feeling ok actually a lot of the time and now I've correctly recorded a couple of walks I know what I'm doing 😄

[Cowladyrunning Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I'm making notes on every watch mentioned because I think I need a new one with better battery life for my marathon.... 😀
