Iām going to run the Athlone 10 Mile on Saturday morning. Iāll be in CenterParcs this weekend with a group of different families & one of the lads is running it to tune up for the Cork Marathon in 2/3 weeks. A marathon based effort type thing for him & I said Iād accompany him on an expedition out of the park.

Youāre living in center parcs
+1. Well done @Wexford1996. And @tallback on Sunday in the Fastlane half. I didnāt make the Athlone 10 mile at the weekend, as my running comrade had a vomiting child in his Center Parcs lodge so couldnāt skip away & I was too afraid to go on my own.

Thatās 2 blistering 5ks in 3 days ? Super running.
Thanks, delighted with that. Good bit quicker than the 5k Saturday but great course tonight.

Anyone doing the work relay thing in the park Thursday night. Said Iād do it. Did it before, an awful amount of standing around if youāre running last.
FAO of running friends, is my watch bollixed for good? Itās mainly freezing on a time & being unresponsive (second pic) or going to first pic (despite being fully charged). Then itāll randomly work again briefly before freezing again. Iāve had it 2 or 3 years, maybe closer to 3. Is that about as long as youād expect from a Garmin? Iāll probably have to buy a new one. I was doing a session last week with some mixed pace parts & youād be lost without the watch. I had my phone in my hand with the Strava app open to be able to see what pace I was running at. Pain in the hole.
I got 8 years+ out of my Garmin. Now, the buttons were hanging off it by the end, but I upgraded earlier this year. It still does work if I needed it.
Iād say google it. You might be able to do a hard reset on it or something.

Is hard reset same as factory reset?
Bear in mind Iām a simpleton & am afraid of watches, phones, etc.

Garmin are meant to be pretty good if you go to them with a broken watch

They sent me a brand new watch when my strap broke but I only had it a year or so at the time

Also if it is fucked . Id contact Garmin. Have found them very good before to replace products even well outside of warranty. My brother bought a watch second hand in the UK before moving home and it was a few years old and they replaced it . Have seen them replace a few more for ppl too.

Thatās an incredible fun running operation Jack and the lads in The Storyteller seem to have going on a Tuesday evening. Cc @BruidheanChaorthainn @Spidey
Looks like Tinder on steroids.
If @Bandage was 15 or 20 years it would be right up his street fun running around Grand Canal Dock.
The @Bandage of 15 years ago would have been straight to āThe Things That Are Wrongā thread to log his digust at the gay lads poncing about in shorts while he was skulling pints with the lads.
A wise man once said, that if you look at life now, the same way you did 15 years ago, youād have just wasted 15 years of your life.
