Well, Duh.

I shouldn't admit my own stupidity so freely, but here goes.  In my determination to run while on our cruise, I dutifully packed my Garmin ..... watch ...?  It's not really a watch, so for the non-runners, it's a GPS device worn on your wrist that tells you how far you've gone, how fast you're going, and a lot of other helpful data that I have yet to figure out how to access.

On the morning of our first sea day, meaning no ports (stops) - just traveling, I headed out to burn some calories.  A few minutes into my run, I noticed my Garmin wasn't working correctly.  I mean the numbers were crazy.  It was saying I was running faster than 3 minute miles and had already gone over 20 miles in distance.  (If you're already ahead of me here, then yes, you are smarter than I.  Go ahead and gloat.)

I thought, "Has it switched to metric somehow?"  I pushed buttons, trying to fix it.  No good, so I gave up on it and just ran.

When I got back to our room, I shared the problem with Bryce.

"We're on a moving ship!" he laughed.

 

Oh.



Well, at least it wasn't broken....
