    This week is another travel week, but I am able to stay overnight at a hotel and made sure they had a fitness center so I have access to a treadmill.

    @RunRachelleRun I do the same thing. I swear I read, skim through more than I miss. But always seem to miss something good/interesting/important. I think I found the article/information on DCRainmakers site. Bet Google will find it Too.

    Remember those races where your GPS dropped out and left you short distance and stole a legit PR from you? There's a fix if you have a Garmin. All hail Garmin!!!

    "The app will automatically re-align to the nearest mile/kilometer marker" Here. Don't worry its just DCRainmaker's article explaining how to get it.

    DH okayed the 935. Now I just gotta get the "when", prob after we pay the brick guy. See, he just bought a new truck so I have a bit of leverage. ;)

    Hope this widget helps!

    Here it is @RunRachelleRun Of course this is just another example of how little I absorb reading, since I misunderstood. But that's what @7lenny7 (and others) is for. y'all keep me on track.
