A new toy...



Thanks to someone over on a bulletin board I frequent who mentioned to me that heart rate monitors are eligible for Flexible Spending reimbursement I decided that I finally had a good enough excuse to make this long desired purchase. With delight I headed over to REI to purchase a Polar F6 with a $20 off coupon. I rode tonight with it for the first time and it worked great! It will take some getting used to and I need to research the best range for my heart rate to help with my weight loss goals but it's great to know that I'll have another tool to get me there.

A Merry early Christmas to yourself! Glad you decided to get one. You might have motivated me to pull mine out of the box and actually try using it sometime soon. :)

I loved training with mine. I need to go to Batteries plus to get a new battery, but when I was training for long runs, it really helped me understand how my body was handling the training. I must admit I liked knowing how many calories I had burned as well. ;)
