Run
My Garmin Instinct 2 screen froze Sunday before a run, and even though there’s a surprisingly simple fix, it took me a while to find it. So, here it is, in case you need it.
Hold down the CTRL key for about 15 seconds. The screen will turn off, and after a few moments, it will come back, showing the Garmin logo. If it doesn’t open your selected watch face from there, just press CTRL again for a few seconds.
This was the very first time I had any problems with my Instinct 2. It’s remarkable how reliable this watch is. I love it and stand by everything I said in my first impressions video below.
First 15K (using my Nike+iPod hack)
Even though I don’t like Nike running shoes, I love running with my iPod, so it’s only natural that I wanted to try the Nike+iPod tracker. The solution was a simple hack (pictures below) that I’ve been using for the last four months.
Yesterday, it even completed my first 15K with me!
