GRRRRRRRR!
Uncategorized November 9th, 2008So, I got a new heart rate monotor, and it RUINED my run this morning! I wanted to look at it a lot and see if it was right in the miles and mph functions. Well, it wasn’t! I had gone almost a mile before I looked, and it said I had gone .3 miles! grrrrrrr AND, the worst, it says I run at a speed of between 2.67 and 3.74. Are you efin KIDDING me? So, I stopped my usual run and walked to test it. Crap. Then I sprinted and STILL couldn’t get the thing to read even 4mph. So, the moral of the story is I am taking it back and waiting for a body bugg. I forgot I wanted one of those anyway, though I would rather have something that measured my heartrate, too. ARGH!
So, like I said earlier, run was crap. I’m going to try to do something else today. Haven’t eaten yet, but just about to. Today is day one on my recommitting myself to my diet thing. Yes, it is the 321st day one, but a day one all the same 
Happy Sunday, chickies!

Left you a message on my blog. I really like the monitor I’m using and have compared it with several others. I feel like it does a pretty good job but it doesn’t measure speed or distance. Just HR and Calories.

LOL! Best of luck with your 321st day one!
I have to look into this body bugg thing. Are you using mapmyrun.com? Maybe just do a combination of just mapping out your run on there and then timing it and doing all the math yourself until you can get what you want. I am so terribly anal about the numbers. Some people say they know how fast they run, so they just go out and run for x amount of minutes or whatever and don’t worry about it. Not me. I have to calculate the crap out of it.
