Got up early and was going to get in a run before going to work.   Grabbed the Garmin from the charger and went outside.  I pushed the power button, and nothing happened.  I pushed it again, still nothing.  This time I pushed it real hard and stared at it angrily.  Still nothing. So went inside and got my "traditional watch."  I kept the pace very easy.  At first mile mark I forgot to get the split.  Just not used to doing things own my since having the Garmin I guess.  Got the next 3 splits though.   Right calf still hurt from yesterday, and never felt better during the run.  The left quad area still hurt as well.

The right calf hurt all day while at work.  Still hurt on my afternoon run as well.  This is very frustrating.  The quad pain has been here so long I forgot what it was like to not have it.  Now the calf.  For every step in a positive direction in my running, a negative keeps popping up.  Lately the cardio has felt so good, and the legs, I feel, are holding me back.  So no morning runs the next couple of days.  In the afternoons I will use the elliptical. 

Did some checking at garmin.com and found out the watch needed to be reset.  Thankfully it is now working like it should.
