Garmin’s back! Time for Some Hills Well, we made it to August. It seems like deer fly season is winding down. Maybe they got the China Virus. It is still a bit hot and humid for my tastes. Now, however, Garmin’s back up and we can all record our run. Let’s do it on some ...
Why Bother? I guess Garmin Connect is down! How can I be expected to run, bike, or swim if I can’t humble-brag about it on social media? That’s unfathomable! I mean, all of my followers and friends rely on seeing carefully planned pictures of my legs, or of me running, or my Garmin screen in ...
