Progressed to Garmin

This running malarkey certainly bites, I thought I'd treat myself to a Garmin, trying to activate my phone to record time, distance and pace, then store it away at the beginning of runs was fidley. Since using the Garmin watch and just pressing the button makes life so much easier, I wish I had bought one earlier. At the moment just trying to get my head around Garmin Connect and hopefully meet some members of C25K using the same.

Thank you Poppypug for accepting my request connection and your kinds words, if anyone else would like to connect with me my ID is Frank-ntj

I think by the time I've got my head around it it will probably be out of date and something else will be out. But like you Chris I think we will crack it eventually 😊. xxx

Garmin Connect is great - even when I can't run it's inspiring to see what others are up to. Request has been sent - it's runswithdogs_1

I love mine, and wish I'd got it sooner. I'll see if I can find you, my names the same over there if you want to look me up. What's your Garmin called? You have to give it a name you know....

Ah yes, the wonderful world of Garmin. It's so much easier isn't it! Just sent you a request. Same name as here :)

Hi Hilly, thanks for the reply and I certainly agree it is much easier on starting and at the end of a run. one button to push, much easier than trying to get it out of my waist bag. 😊
