I just saw that it's going to be in the 90's on Saturday.  I am not excited about that kind of heat!  66o was hot enough this morning.

I did my glamour muscle workout (back & biceps), ab ripper, and then went for a quick run.  My watch shut off 6 times in the first .9 miles, so I  don't have perfect results, but I did manage to get an average 9:08 pace for the 2.1 miles it did record.  I'm really sick of this garmin, but all of the reviews on other garmins sound like they're trash too.  All gps watches seem to be built with some huge flaw.

NICE workouts this week. Are you almost done with the p90Xdays thing?! Just in time for the scorching heat!

I'm on my second Garmin305 that's a year old. First one lasted about 3 years. I heard the newer models have more issues. Have you called their customer support to see if they could help you?

May be one of these days you and the MR will find a gps watch on your run to add to your "treasures" collection! :)

Not to jinx anything...but I've had my Garmin 305 now for 3+ years and I've never had a problem with it - except running out of batteries because I didn't charge it, but I don't think I can blame that one on the Garmin :)

Good luck finding one, it is like car shopping...cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Nice workouts, you are hitting things hard!
