Morning. I hope so AR, the main draws were fabulous bling and a 6.5h cut off time. :) That and hearing good about White Star.

RH: ah yes, the that-end-oscopy. When I had mine I got a good score for the pre-op. preparation (!). Hope your one goes ok.

Aw Dipps hope it's not too bad.

Been for a very slippy 5 miles. So glad I wore my trail shoes as I was very much like Bambi on ice on places ;-)

Oh no Dipps, hope your fears are unfounded.

This is odd. I turned my Garmin off last night when I got back from track, and turned it on again this morning. I have my strengthening class at 10. Checked my watch (haven't got the TV or radio on and OH is out with a dog) it said it was 9:32 so off I drove. Thought the traffic by the school seemed unusually heavy, glanced at the car clock...it was only 8:40! When I looked more closely at the watch, it was saying it was Monday 27th as well.

I've now gone into Settings twice to reset the time, switched on 'Set time automatically' and both times it's gone back to yesterday evening.

Is it a glitch with the watch or Garmin generally? I can leave it to set time manually but it's a bit of a nuisance.

Are you in a time warp LD? Never had anything like that with my Garmins (205 x2, 610 or 735). Has always reset to local time wherever.

Check it's on auto time and get it to locate satellites.

I'm indoors at the moment, I'll do that in a bit and see if that works, thanks Lizzie. Never had this trouble with my previous Garmins.

Yeah maybe it’s mentally relocated to the continent ... nothing obvious broken hurrah and bones not yet fused, double bonus. She is in some pain but hopefully it will be short lived

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
