PANIC!!
They do not have a RoadId that fits it!
I asked about it in their chat, and they said no. I told them that made me sad, so they sent me a picture to cheer me up:
Clever distraction... but I still have no RoadId.
The one for my AppleWatch ALMOST fit. I think I will try heating it up with my torch and bending it a bit.
HAHAHAHAHA! What a fluffy creature!
My roadID is a separate band. I like it very much that way. I would wear it on motorcycle rides, I keep it in my car and I have it traveling, not only when I wear my Garmin.
That is what my wife does but I ONLY wear my watch. I wear it all day, every day. I do not want a second thing to wear/track. *shrugs*
Does anyone have any RoadId coupons? I talked to another agent and they said they have some for the 935 on back order and if I call I can order one - but to do it fast as they might be discontinued.1 -
@PastorVincent I have a coupon at home, but I won't be there for 3-4 hours. Want me to PM you a code and amount (I think it was $5, but not certain) later or is that too long to wait?0

That will work great, thank!0 -
@PastorVincent I might have a coupon too, I'll let you know.
@Elise4270 @seanevan10 and I are August hotties!
@LC0924 people here run in way colder weather than I do. I've run down to about -2 with wind chill. I always wear a dri fit base layer with wool socks. Sometimes I'll wear a thin pair of dri fit socks with wool over them. I dress in layers and don't hesitate to throw on a heavy hoodie since every thing under is dri fit.
I think this article:
http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2014/12/training-tips/freezing-wear-winter-runs_33932
Also I dress for 10 degrees warmer than it is, because you will warm up. If I'm cold when I walk out the door I'm good to go, if I'm warm, I take a layer off.

Nope, I'm December. Not a month mentioned so far for being best or worst of anything. Except for disappointing my club the year I was 59, because I didn't age up until *after* club nationals. And for getting "Merry Birthday" presents as a kid.
Interestingly enough, my sister who thinks she's slow is November. The one who was surprised to finish 2nd in her age group in a 5K that she ran plodding and out of shape. The same one who goes to age group national triathlon competition, because it's pretty easy to qualify by winning her age group in a local tri. The same one who thinks she'll never BQ; I think she has a chance if she ever runs a marathon, particularly since now she will have the 65 year old female BQ target. Might be hard, but it's not impossible. The open question is whether she wants to train that hard.3 -
Went out in the dark with my headlamp in the cold this morning. Walked about 0.75 mi and ran 5 mi in the neighborhood followed by trip to sports doc (I am progressing nicely) and PT (more painful scraping and painful glute strengthening exercises. Need to get 19.5 mi in the next few days. That is going to be a challenge but maybe I'll sign my family up for the nighttime zombie run down the road from us tomorrow....

I am kind of thinking that we should be hoping for Samsung to NOT repair it here...
Part of me is, yes. I would never recommend a Samsung device of any sort after my experience with them, but I also wasn't looking to spend another $300++++ on a new watch. We are due to get new phones soon, also, so I now I don't feel locked in to getting a Samsung for the optimal compatibility of also having the Samsung watch.
It's a shame a company cares so little about customer service. My family as a looooot of Samsung devices.
Sorry to hear about your experience. I have not yet had to deal with Garmin's customer service even though I have had their GPSs in my cars for over a decade. So I guess that speaks for itself.
But yeah, these toys are NOT cheap.
take up running they said. It’s a cheap sport, you can just throw on so shoes and go they said....10 -
@JessicaMcB- I am a February b-day too They can tell us we are slow, but we know better1

I hit my goal for October! And I still have my long run on Sunday.
Today's run was nice, but it was windy! I could really tell a difference in my pace. I was almost a full minute slower than yesterday.
@hjeppley I only liked your post because the zombie run sounds fun. That other stuff definitely does not sound fun. Hopefully you won't have to do that much longer.
@MNLittleFinn I love how you can run 100km one weekend and then complain about feeling lazy. I would probably still feel dead.
I'm with the slower April birthdays. Oh well, I'm a lot faster than I used to be.
ETA Looks like my ticker is slow to. I hate it when it takes forever to update. Especially when I met my goal. Of course since I'm editing to mention it will probably be updated when I save this post.
