It was fitting that the new watch started with a run at home with the young boy.
During the Covid lockdown months, I was lucky that I could run outdoors at home. I measured the driveway not only with my now retired Garmin but also with a good old fashioned measuring tape.
As suspected, a watch would not be accurate over a short distance. Thus, all running at home became stopwatch. And it continues to be so.
Today – with the new Garmin – I wanted to see if the tech had changed or improved that much more. It hasn’t. Oh – of course it must have – but possibly not for a driveway.
Or as my running friends Amit and Maneesh used to say – it’s just you.
Because the GPS seems to misbehave often (with me) whether at Nehru Park or the Golf Course Road.
At any rate, it was a fun, easy and relaxed morning. A perfect way to inaugurate a new watch, running together, watching the sun rise that thankfully pays no heed or need to technology.
