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.

eeek! It's Movember again! And Sparkdriver is posting photos!!
Hey, it's all good with the exercise - remember this is Sparkdriver 2.0 and anything added to zero is an improvement (BTW I'd be extremely pleased to run 40min 6kms LOL)
Take care and POST AGAIN SOON
Nice mo :-)
Its so funny seeing guys with dodgey mos when you aren't sure if they are Movember ones or real ones. Rather than put my foot in it I say nothing!
No it's not Tesso! It's terrible!
Keep the easy runs going mate. Good idea with the alert for high HR. I find I have to start walking early on hills (3 or 4 beats before it hits my upper limit) when doing low HR runs. Flat runs are less of a problem. In hot weather, stay well under for the first half of the run.
Dude - going for the Chopper Read look I'm guessing?
You may need some more tats..
I've struggled with motivation and health stuff the last month or so too - hanf in there.
