My next adventure in the Last Wave

This morning I kicked off my next running adventure. I have signed up to run a half-marathon with Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It seems like I never really succeeded at the 10-mile mark, but I am moving on to a half-marathon. Kind of crazy. But not as crazy as living with a blood cancer. Cancer treatment is a long, tough slog. Kinda like a half-marathon. Won't you join me in supporting Leukemia and Lymphoma Society?

Fixing my Heart Rate Monitor

Sometimes technology can really help you. Sometimes it can be really really annoying. That's what I've found with my Garmin Forerunner 210. I love love love the watch, except for the heart rate monitor. And I must admit, I am on my second strap in less than a year. Apparently you have to take care of these things!

This morning I found an excellent link on troubleshooting the heart rate monitor, so I am posting here.



Hopefully I will be able to get readings less than 200 bpm today! I did update the software on my watch this morning, and I have been diligent about rinsing my strap after every use. Not so diligent about washing it with dish soap...
