Giving Away Garmin
I ran 7.8 kilometers last night. My new headlight was very bright and comfortable. The other day, I was demotivated to run, but last night's run was just great.
This morning, I read a Japanese article about giving up a smartphone while running. You don't need to think about your pace, heart rate, time, or distance. You just rely on your feelings and breathing. It's fascinating advice to follow. It reminds me of Obi-Wan's suggestion to Luke Skywalker when he tries to drop a bomb into a very small hole in the Death Star, using an AI-controlled targeting system.
"Let go, Luke. Stretch out with your feelings!"
For the time being, instead of discarding my expensive Forerunner 265, I'll keep wearing it. But I'll ignore the screen and never look at it as much as possible.
I'll enjoy my "free run" not controlled by machines.
昨晩、7.8キロ走りました。新しいヘッドライトはとても明るくて快適でした。一昨日は走るヤル気が出なかたのですが、昨夜のランニングは本当に最高でした。
今朝、日本語の記事で、「スマートフォンをつけずに走る」という記事を読みました。ペースや心拍数、時間、距離を気にすることなく、機械にしばられずに、ただ自分の感覚と呼吸の状態に頼って走るというものです。とても魅力的なアドバイスだと思いました。これは、デス・スターの小さな穴に爆弾を落とそうとするルーク・スカイウォーカーにオビワンが言ったアドバイスを思い出させます。その時ルークはコンピュータ制御の目標システムを使っていました。
「機械に頼るな、ルーク。自分の感覚を信じろ！」
しばらくの間は、高かった Forerunner 265 を捨ててしまうのではなく身には着けておきますが、画面を無視して、できるだけ見ないようにします。
機械にしばられない「自由な走り」を楽しもうと思います。

Smart phone would be like what you use to call and text, your smart watch is what you use to track heart rate, time, distance, etc. Either can be used here, but based on context, I think you meant smart watch.

Great job! I can't leave my smart watch behind when I run, I like looking at the stats after too much!
Giving AwayUp Garmin
Since you'll be keeping your Garmin, just not looking at it habitually, "giving away" is probably not the right phrasing. People often use "giving up" in this context. For example, "I'm giving up drinking for the next month".

When something has demotivated you, you "lack motivation" or are "unmotivated".
This morning, I read a Japanese article about giving up a(one's / your) smartphone while running.
"one's" would be a little more formal, "your" would be more casual speech.

Nice! I liked the comparison you made between free running and Star Wars.

"Demotivated" means that something caused you to lose motivation, while "unmotivated" means that you were just not motivated. You can also say "I wasn't so motivated to run" or "I didn't have the motivation to run".

Well done! That's interesting advice. I think if I went running based on just feeling, 10 minutes would feel like 20 minutes. Haha!

Thank you very much!
I think at least a regular wristwatch is necessary for me when running on a weekday night. I have to think about the time to go to bed, for getting the enough sleeping time for tomorrow.
On weekends, when I have no other plans besides running, I could rely solely on my instincts and the position of the sun to tell me whether it's midday or evening.

Good work. How much technology to use when running is an ongoing debate.

Thank you very much for your corrections and comment.
Okay, I see.
How much technology to use when living is an ongoing debate, too. The smartphones vs the dumbphones.
Giving AwayUp The Garmin
"Giving away" implies you are giving it away to someone, or donating it. Seems like you are just trying to use it less, so I would say "Giving up the Garmin". "Giving Up ____" can be used to talk about ending a habit.
Could also say "Putting Away The Garmin" to say you're not using it.
The other day, I was too demotivated to run, but last night's run was just great.
Someone can feel "motivated to run", but "demotivated to run" feels unnatural. I'd say either "too demotivated to run", if you didn't run at all. Or "Demotivated about running" if you still ran.
This morning, I read a Japanese article about giving up a smartphones while running.
It's not a specific smartphone, but smartphones in general. Would possibly be more natural to say "giving up using smartphones".
But I'll ignore the screen and neverot look at it as much as possible.

Good luck on your future runs!

"Give up" instead of "give away" was the phrasal verb I was looking for.
