WP - that's a real bonus being able to defer to next year when you should be able to run a stronger race.
Was your recent virus Covid (again)?

WP - that's really bad luck. Perhaps wait in the car park next time whilst waiting to be called in 😉

Hope you feel better soon, WP. I've somehow managed to avoid covid, though I've had plenty of colds. I have to admit I am always wary of docs and hospitals because sick people go there. 😆
Shades, I had the 55 more than 2 years - with me, they tend to last around that long before they get glitchy. It's possible that plugging them into the PC is harder on them than uploading to phone.

Cal - I think it's often luck, or bad luck, as to how long a Garmin lasts. Previously I've had to replace mine when it doesn't hold its charge for as long as it should, or the screen mists up letting in a bit of damp.
I plug mine in every day to recharge, just habit when I recharge my phone. So I don't think plugging it into your PC is any different.
I haven't done a long run or run a marathon for 15 months so my Garmin may let me down on the next marathon, we'll see.

WP-I had covid twice,that I know of,first time it knocked me badly,it was just after Boston so not sure if it was worse as my body was run down anyway.
Seen the Triathlon splits and top 3 all ran a sub 30 10k.
Bonus 7m today as I wasn't expecting to run.

Considering something a bit different for me this weekend; Saturdays, if I’m running, virtually always include a parkrun day for me. But as I want to watch the men’s cycling road race at Olympics on Saturday, which I think starts at 10am, I’m thinking I’ll get out and do my run early, and hence miss parkrun.

Big G - I hear Pogacar has withdrawn from the Olympics.
In theory an Olympic gold medal should be the ultimate sporting achievement. But IMHO in cycling it isn't, nor football, tennis, golf etc.
You might want to rejig next weekend's schedule too as it's the men's marathon, it may have finished in time for you to nip to parkrun, not sure.

Shades, yeah Pogacar withdrew after the Tour, but there are lots of big names in the race.

Big G - Pogacar withdrew stating tiredness, but apparently his girlfriend not being selected to compete was a major factor when making that decision.
No run for me this morning, had another hot and restless night, that's 3 in a row, and all the tossing and turning set my back off. Annoying as it's significantly cooler and fresher this morning, just hasn't filtered into my flat yet. I will go out for a walk this morning instead, once my back settles, which it's doing now that I'm up and about.
