Oh, the weather outside is delightful. The running mood is right-ful.
Despite being lazy on a Sunday morning I had special interest in going out this time - to test drive my new Polar heart monitor. Thank you Santa!
First I entered my mid 20th century birthdate. Out came a maximum HR of 168. Okay. Off I went starting at about a 110 rate. It gradually rose as I ran myself through a 2 mile warm up. In miles 3 and 4 the heart monitor was beeping like crazy as I stayed in the 160 rate zone. I wasn't sure if I was going too hard or my heart was reacting to exercise after too many cheesecake helpings and holiday chocolate splurges. No matter, the effort was worth it and now I have lots more new numbers to record. All I have to do is figure out what good they are.
Anybody got any ideas?
My name is David (Dylan to some). I am a runner.

I never did figure out what to do with the numbers. I just used it to keep tabs on where my HR was. I shut off all the alarms so it wasn't beeping so much. Sounds like yours has a limitset at 160 or close to it, so when you went over, it beeped.
Congrats on the new toy from Santa! :)
