    For those of you who track your runs on both Garmin and Strava, do you notice a significant difference in the pace Garmin gives you vs the pace that Strava gives you? .

    @martaindale – what a cute and scrumptious looking bento box! (Not so sure about the monks meal.)

    I have never seen that much of a difference. Maybe a second or two occasionally. I looked at my last few runs and they were the same in both Garmin and Strava. I wonder why yours is so different.

    The monks meal was really good. It was vegan but with a lot of variety. The meal includes certain colors and 5 styles of cooking so it requires creativity. Not pictured was soup and an eggplant and tofu dish.

    @martaindale Thanks for sharing your trip with us. It looks like so much fun and you have been in some really beautiful spots and able to have a lot of cool experiences.

    Great run today @Teresa502 . Enjoy your family reunion tomorrow. Maybe I don't know exactly how it works, but I thought my Strava was connected to my Garmin to get the activities. I really haven't noticed a difference in pace, but have noticed Strava shorts my runs/walks by a smidge.

    @yirara Running in the heat will slow you down. You are doing great.

    Thanks @kgirlhart . I am having a great time too. I just don't do selfie's very well. LOL You had a great early morning run. I'm sure your nephew was embarrassed by the accidental siren. I am with you on hitting the snooze. I usually hit mine for at least 30 min. I seem to nap so well between the alarms. LOL

    Nice running @mari333a . Be careful out there.

    @Teresa502 is one basing pace on running time while the other is taking total elapsed time? That’s the only way I ever get a difference.

    @ContraryMaryMary I would want the extra 2 mins too. That's a lot of time to shave off so it would be less motivating for me than having a more attainable PR.

    @quilteryoyo Tippy looks so happy by the beach!

    Yikes @yirara that sounds like it could have been a dangerous situation. Glad you got those people out of there before the smoke got to them. Wasn't sure whether to Like or Hug on that post ;)

    Golf was mixed today. Terrible front 9, but a pretty decent back. So still a lot of work to do. Thinking about doing a TM run this afternoon as I won't be able to run tomorrow. Have to cut down the rest of my tree out front.

    Thanks :) I had an awful lot of emergency, first aid and kind of rescue trainings and drills. But most of it was based on 'hit the next alarm, put on breathing and floating equipment, go to muster point', thus not really useful skills 😬 Glad all went well.

    @ContraryMaryMary Great running. Glad you held off the girl at the end. Sorry the distance was short.

    @martaindale Tippy does love the beach.

    Great running @chris_in_cal . Glad it felt good and you didn't get COVID. I had a scare a couple of weeks ago too, when someone I sat beside at church on Sunday let me know on that Tuesday they tested positive. I was paranoid that every little sniffle or cough was a symptom. So, I understand.

    Nice run this morning @tarun_yadavA .

    WOW @yirara . Glad the fire wasn't worse. You're doing great with your running.

    @Scott6255 I'm glad the golf ended on a high note.

    Maybe that is it. I only record using my Garmin which is connected to Strava so you would think the data would be the same. For the run which read 10:54/mile on Strava and 11:03/mile on Garmin, the Garmin stats indicate that my average moving pace was 10:51/mile which is closer to the Strava pace. Who knows! As long as both have me moving forward it's all good!

    @ContraryMaryMary I'm glad you had a nice run today and that they modified everyone's time for Parkrun. That would mess with a lot of records.

    Nice long run @kgirlhart .

    Great streaking @chris_in_cal !

    Another cool place to run @martaindale . Love all of the pictures of your vacation. Enjoy Tokyo.

    Nice run @tarun_yadavA . Glad your 9 year old joined you today.

    Great run @AmunahSki ! Love that your son is so encouraging.

    Nice run @AlphaHowls . I agree that this month really has gone by fast.
