WTF Watches

First off, everything is going well.  Running, walking all good.  For some reason my run on Sunday kind of sucked, could have to do with eating crappily on Saturday, I don't know, but the run today was great.  But today started off very badly.  Went to put on my Garmin and it was DEAD.  Nothing, nada, nunca, blank screen, no life.  DEAD.  So I went to find my back up watch and it couldn't be found.  Luckily I am a man of many watches and found a digital that had some life in it, so I strapped that one on and got gone.  Except that when I started my run, when I pushed the start button BOTH OF THE FUCKING STRAPS BROKE!  So I ended up putting my watch in my pocket and went on my way. Had a good run, felt great but really missed my Garmin.  :(  So I get to work, all pissed off about my Garmin, ready to call those bastards up and light them up about my watch. I'd posted about it on Facebook and my running buddy Russ let me know that there was a simple fix.  Press and hold the light button.  SOB!  So it works now and now I know.  Yay.
