Personal:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Heb 12:11

Kickstart your dead Garmin
Hold down the reset/lap button and the mode button together to get your 205/305/310xt to restart if it won't turn on or if it freezes up.

6:30am Joshua 4 - Ruth 3

My Garmin finally kicked the bucket. It won't lock into any satellites so no pace splits etc. I even hard reset it back to factory defaults. All I got today was total time for each leg of this run. I used the Course Tool to get the mileage for my route to the park and back(Thanks Sasha!) PointDefiance and one of the other runners got the trail mileage. The plan was to run to the park and have breakfast at a nearby restaurant then meetup with the group for a 9:00am trail run. I got a late start trying to get the Garmin working and ended up running faster than expected since I had no idea what my pace was. When I got there the restaurant was closed so I skipped breakfast and sprinted over to catch the 8:00am group for an extra 3 miles on the trails(turns out they don't actually leave until 8:15). There was a little break after each trail run and the second one was a little shorter than I expected so I guess it's a good thing I made it early :)

The trails in the park were full of hills, stairs, rocks, roots, mud and monkey bars. Fun stuff! I stopped the clock for a coffee break at Forza on the way home. The weather was perfect for a run today and I really needed the downtime after a stressful week, I couldn't have timed this one any better. My Ragnarly meter is pegged!
