Today was hot, humid, and windy. Not the best running conditions, but I walked every mile whether or not I needed to and survived. At the end of the first mile I didn't feel like a walk was necessary, but I've been at this long enough to recognize what was coming later. Toward the end of the 6 miles I walked up the big hill, and then took it easy the last quarter-mile. My strategy paid off.
The Garmin is working again. I don't know exactly what I did to get it working after doing some online research. I cleaned off the contacts, but that didn't do the trick. Then I tried a hard reset but as I was doing so my phone rang and distracted me, so I don't think it ever actually reset. The funny thing is that after that I turned it off, put it on the charger, and away it went. Let's hope it keeps working so I don't have to go through that again.
Today I added something new to my listening repertoire besides music or podcasts - language lessons. Since I'm headed to Europe next year I checked out some materials from the library. I reckoned that it's been 33 years since I last took a German class, but the first lesson came easy and brought to mind words I'd learned way back then. Fortunately very few other people were out so that I could repeat the lessons out loud. Ich verstehe ein bisschen Deutsch. Don't remember if the spelling is right on that, and there's nowhere to go but up from here.
