It just doesn't phase me that much.<br /><br />Another way to measure fitness and while not something I do, I could do it... That would be resting heart rate. I can sit on the couch and feel my pulse and get an idea. I haven;t done it because I don't care enough right now. Can't race due to the rona... and can't race due to my foot so why worry about fitness!! But these are different ideas you can measure. My resting heart rate isn't as low as I'd like it to be when I'm in tip top shape.. I know people who mare around 40 and I only get down to 52/53.<br /><br />Maybe I'll check it tomorrow in he afternoon if it's another dead day and I'll report to you what it is as I've done some harder runs of late but very infrequently!!<br /><br />Maybe it's that all males in my family tree have had heart conditions (all were smokers and none were runners) outside of my uncle who committed suicide in 2009 and my uncle in Canada who fled the nation as a draft dodger and had nothing good to say about the USA today.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727212475858505605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-46617823338610934062011-04-04T19:16:15.688-04:002011-04-04T19:16:15.688-04:00Yay, how awesome for you!
