Oh, my heart!

What's the deal with my heart rate? All this new technology is super fun  but I'm not loving the fact that my heart rate is way too high during my runs. I don't feel like my body is over stressed. I've been running like this for years, obviously. But now I have knowledge. And the knowledge indicates that I am working out way beyond the recommended percentage of maximum heart rate. I'm trying to figure out if I should be troubled by this.... Most of me says, "feh, you're a freak, we knew that." But part of me say, "whoa, sally, you may only get a billion beats in this life so ya better get this figured out."

I'm honestly one of the healthiest people I know... So do I interrupt my already insane schedule and go to the doctor about this? She's either going to snicker at me and send me away or send me on to a cardiologist or something which would then make my schedule even CRAZIER.

Or, I could just take the heart rate monitor off and go back to blissful ignorance. That might be fun, too.

Decisions..... Such a pain.

  1. Wouldn't you rather she snicker at you and send you away? I mean, I am positive you are doing GREAT(!!), but wouldn't it be awesome to have your doctor say that?! You always were sort of a running anomaly....
