Discourse on running, fitness, healthy eating. May have long stories about all kinds of running gear like Garmin watches, running sleeves or just musings about what I find in the running community. Try to keep you guessing.

Oh No, My Forerunner 305!
OMG! I get to my Friday run this morning (I don't usually run on Fridays, only when I've been slacking during the week) jump out of the car and turn on my trusty Forerunner 305. What? Turn on! Maybe I need to re-push the button. Nope. What the $#@$? OK, so when I get home I'll simply plug it back into the adapter. Nope, that didn't work either. Dag gum it. What is the problem? Will I lose all my saved data? My last ditch hope is the try plugging it back in and hoping that through some electronic miracle it will "fix itself". I'm no idiot, I'm just hopeful. If this does not work then I will capitulate and send it in for repair or replacement. I cringe at the very notion.

I ran my first marathon about 2 months ago. I noticed that the "battery charged" notice stayed on my 305 even after I took it off the craddle, but didn't worry about it. Just thought, "good, battery charged." When I got to the start line I turned it on to locate sattelites. Nothing...just "battery charged". It didn't even work as a watch. However, it started working again after the race-maybe after I put it on the charger for a while. I mentioned later to the Garmin people and they said to press reset and mode at the same time if it happens again. Hope yours turns out alright.
