Gadget Love
I *finally* got my heart rate monitor (after two years of deciding if I really wanted it). It's SSSOOOO cool. Although I haven't gone working out with it yet, I have learned that my resting heart rate (despite my excitement in trying the HRM out) is 55 BPM. I can't wait until I go out running with it.
ALSO. I got my ShoePouch for my Nike+ sensor. This is also super cool (nike+ that is). Although it hasn't been calibrated for my stride (it thought I had run 3.7 miles when I only ran 3.1), it's still cool. I like the timing (which i guess my HRM does too), but also the "distance". Now once I calibrate it, it's going to be awesome.
I am totally in random exercise gadget heaven right now. Running has made me a slave to gadgets. And next is to actually buy shoes that work with my feet. Having ten bazillion blisters and one black toe nail probably isn't a good thing.
On side note: Nike has me completely whipped. A lot of my exercise stuff is Nike: Nike capris, Nike shoes, Nike+, Nike HRM. I even freaking run with the Nike run club and am running the Nike's Women half marathon. Maybe I should start working at the Nike store too.
