58F.  No watch.  I stepped on my gym bag and heard a crunch...now my garmin is no more.  A few words:

It was a good watch.  At almost 4 years old, most garmins its age do not function well, but this one was awesome.  About 2 years ago, the rubber strap broke and I replaced it with a soft one that felt a lot better but absorbed all the dirt and sweat it touched.  You had to be careful not to touch it after showering, because then your hand would stink all day.  You will be missed, stinky garmin.  R.I.P.

Sorry about the watch Joe. I haven't commented in a while and you may have thought I went the way of all 4 year old Garmins! haha, your times are looking great! Blowing me out of the water.

I just poured some coffee on my office floor in your Garmin's honor. It was a good watch.

Runners are so sentimental...

From SlowJoe on Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 12:14:17 from 168.215.171.129

Colby! Good to hear from you. You'll be back in no time.

Jason - thanks for the respect. Sad day..

Rye! Welcome back to you too.

Did you hold a ceremony as you flushed it down the toilet?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 20:06:38 from 66.69.93.8

Tracy - haven't flushed it yet, we're having the wake now (it's on the kitchen counter).

From Matt Schreiber on Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 21:35:41 from 66.17.102.185

Oh no.. How depressing. When you're ready to talk about a new Garmin, I just bought a new one recently and Jason's full of good advice.

Sorry for your loss.

Your Garmin reminds me of some people, they are "stinky" but still are loved!
