Ha, in my case it wouldn't matter...I have them year-round. But if yours just kicked-in...hmmm...coincidence?

| I was sick after I bid for mine on Ebay and won. Only cause I had to explain to my wife where all that money went (of coarse it was all worth it). |

Thanks--I'm mostly better. Still have a bit of a cough, but Dane is going on about 2 months with a cough and my brother (also ended up on antibiotics) is also not recovering fast, so whatever got us got us good. I'll be glad if I can make it the rest of the Winter in good health.

When good technology goes bad
My wife got me this Garmin runner gps for my birthday. Mind you a calendar might be more appropriate to time my runs but I like techie stuff and if it keeps me motivated what the hey. It is quite customizable and you can set up what you want on three screens. I played around with all the settings and so forth and now the time had come to actually take it on a run. The first run went ok and the screen was actually big enough to read, hey this is cool.
Then it happened, the legendary "Bad Run". All runners have them and they are a fact of running so ok, then I glance down at my garmin and its flashing full screen "You Suck"! Immediately went through all the screens trying to figure out what I did in the setup to get this but then it was gone as if it had never been there. Life went on for awhile with normal runs and no more "flashing incidents" but the garmin did indicate a 1500 foot elevation loss on an out and back insinuating the run was all "downhill". Then it happened again this time on a particularly good run, the kind where you feel you could go on forever, The flashing began again this time with "Attaboy" now thats more like it, oh there's more? "Attaboy........ Fatboy" After a few more such incidents it became clear we needed a patch, an upgrade, a version 2.xx without the 'tude. I made the mistake of verbalizing this strange tech phenom to the wife at which time the garmin began addressing me as "Hal" Whats that I hear? Is this thing actually singing Daisy, Daisy.....

I just got a Garmin for Christmas from my boyfriend (a week late, since we were in Denmark and Germany during the holiday).
I wasn't sick, but it's been so freaking cold here that I wasn't able to get out and use it at all until today (with a temp of 1 F). It's so cold, but I was determined to use it, so I just did a quick 15-minute run. Fun fun fun!!! It also marks my return to running after taking six weeks off for a calf injury. It felt soooo good to run.
