Movember 20th

It is the 20th day of Movember and so far I have raised over $320 dollars.

The Mo is getting as itchy as hell and I am looking forward to shaving it all off come December 1st.

It is not too late to sponsor me. Credit card donations can be made at the Movember website, and entering my rego number of 65449 or my name of Damien Baker.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and funds raised goes to a very worthy cause.

Running and health

After a check up with my doctor and given the all clear I have been out on a few 6km runs.

I went with Ewens suggestion of monitoring my heartrate and trying to keep it in the 80%, zone 4 range.

I set up a little used function on my Garminator 305 to sing out an alert when the heartrate got too high. It was a lot of hard work keeping it in the right range.

Overall with jogging and a little walking I have done a few laps of a 6km circuit in around 40 minutes.

Not a very fast pace but it felt good to be out and giving it a go.
