The Garmin must be obeyed

Today on my run, my Garmin GPS did not work! I must have left it on in my sportsbag and it refused to turn on despite repeated threats and abuse. Now this might seem like a non-issue but I have used this every single time I've run for the last 18 months and it really is the one in charge here. Today I had no idea how fast I was running, where I was going, or what time it was. To be honest, if I'd been on my own I may never have made it back alive.

Fortunately my inner GPS tells me I ran very far, very fast and all at a low heartrate, so that is what I will put in my running log.

Hopefully a few hours on the charger will bring it back to life.
