Help with two corrupt .fit files?

Somehow I got two corrupt .fit files (and the ride from today showed up as if it was from three days ago). Can anyone help me fix these two files? I tried the free online tool: http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ but it looks like some of the XML was missing and it couldnt parse the file. I also downloaded the new Garmin Express but no luck (not even an error there). www.fitfilerepairtool.info looks promising but you have to buy a license and it's only two rides...

I'm thinking about a hard reset on my 500 after I get these files fixed - open to suggestions as to the issue on the device that could have caused this. I recently started using my 500 to track bike commuting and didnt upload rides for a few days, so I had more small rides on the device than I typically do, but not sure how that would adversely impact the device.

Thanks in advance!

    Interestingly now that I look at Strava I see the ride from 3/22 but it's not in Garmin Express, so it looks like Strava was able to import it OK (they are linked via Garmin Express) even though Garmin was not. Strava is my source of record, so I only really would like the short ride from 3/26 fixed. Thanks!!
