I put the latest CD from the Black Eyed Peas, Monkey Business, on my mp3 player and jammed to this while running. Good CD, but I haven't heard it all yet. I also had a successful run with the Garwin/Timex device. It was the battery in the watch. And, I have to tell you fixing that was very interesting. First getting the back of the watch off is tricky as there are rubber flaps that overlap the back on each side of the watch that has a band connected. These may have a purpose I am not sure. Second,the screw that holds the piece of metal on top of the battery is so tiny and goes into such a tiny hole, that I found it nearly impossible not to lose the screw. But, I was able to pull it off. Oh! I spoke too soon.
Here I am using the various features of the watch to scroll through the display to collect the statistics and some displays have gradient displays (varying crispness). In other words, some parts of the display are faint. This mirrors my experience with my first heart monitor. God forbid the battery goes dead. Opening the watch to change the battery, kills the watch. This is simply not forgivable. Users MUST be able to change their own batteries. I am getting pissed off now.
I am not sure why I am running so slow these days. I am guessing that the time off for my recent injury decreased my fitness and that the heat is having impact. I hope some speed comes back! But, maybe age is just catching up. :(
