    @elise4270 I have a Confession to make. I got talking with a friend who is also a running, and we're talking about watches. He was thinking of getting something with all the extra metrics as he is coming from a forerunner 15. I love the 645 but after a couple of uses I decided I wanted something crossed with a fitbit for all day tracking - I spend a lot of time sitting at a desk so a reminder to move is a good thing for me. I was using my phone for ages as the reminder and it was a PITA. Also our local sports store had garmin on sale so I bought a vivoactive 3 music (I thought it would be a gimic but love not having to carry my phone on me!) I hope you don't mind. I gave your watch to my friend because he would get way more use out of it than I would. I'm really grateful for it, I would probably never have got a garmin if you hadn't sent it to me, I'm a complete convert now!

    Haha! Awesome! It was yours to give!

    Am I looking at the wrong one?

    ETA: This is the link

    This is what I’d been looking at too (clearly, since I’m on this one and not the other). I can’t do the first two slots I signed up for but can still do the last three.

    @noblsheep , @Scott6255 , @garygse , @LaDispute57 Miles for Dennis - Would one of you be able to pick-up that 2 hour block hours 5 & 6 between Carol and @HonuNui . I have put myself in for the 3 hour gap after @HonuNui which has me starting at 2300 local time - running in the dark like an Ultra Runner. It's a good thing I know all the RCMP ( Police Officers ) in town so I can give them a warning. Planning to run until I have 26.2 km. Water stash at each end of the park trails.

    @7lenny7 like @Elise4270 mentioned using the spoiler helps the page load faster as the pictures can load in the background after the main text/images are loaded. Sounds like you had a great summer and that was a great video clip of the water hazard.

    I might need to pull out of this project. Woke up this morning with a mammoth headache and am currently coughing my lungs out. I'll see how I feel tomorrow and try to take the first hour of the gap if I can muster it. If not, I'll dedicate my next marathon to Dennis.
    No worries, I now know I should be able to run slot 5. Now to hope this rain will hold off...there's been a storm for most of the day but it's all quiet right now.

    Thank you Elise. I was a bit iffy about it, because you were so generous and it seemed a little, odd maybe. But in the end he really will get so much more out of the metrics than I would have, he is over the moon, it pushed me to get one when I probably wouldn't have and I LOVE my vivoactive so much. You really are amazing

    Another rest day for me cause hubby is in a tournament. My legs are really grateful for the extra rest. I decided to do a real workout challenge, a 1000 calorie workout from fitness blender, made up of 30 min HIIT, total body strength and abs. I've done them from time to time, I used fitness blender last year to lose 20kg, and often use them for lifting videos. I thought it would be relatively easy with all the running I've been doing it would be a good idea.

    OMG the HIIT section kicked my butt. Last time I did it, a few months ago, it was great. But I've lost the ability to do a lot of the explosive actions. I may have to find a way to bring some of it back. Once the half is over maybe. I estimate about 500 calories burned total.

    Chilling for the rest of the day I think.

    So I'm a total spreadsheet novice. Do I Just log my miles under my location? Or do I log them somewhere else?

    The sheets dedicated to states are for those that, at any point run a marathon for Dennis. He passed without having achieved his goal of running one in each state.

    ETA I figure everyone will update here with the runs.

    @Elise4270 Oh, okay. I got a little confused. I will post my mileage here.
