This was a wonderful post!! I especially love you helping others’ self esteem, that made me laugh! I’m also happy that your cheeks and skin are staying pretty and pink and not chaffed, that’s a huge plus in my book!
WOW, Maui?! That sounds like more fun than running with whales but I guess it’s all relative! We are all blessed and I can’t wait to hear more about your 2012 adventures, this is going to be your year !
xo Happy New Year!

Haha! I love this list!
Glad heart rate training is working for you…and your dog!
Very belated congrats on MCM! Forgive me for being so slow to read your report.

I believe without my HR monitor I would be dead. At Afton in 2008, it was 100 degrees and I felt fine, although my HR was over 160. I took ice and fluids and walked about a mile ice on my head and rubbed it on my arms and the HR went down. I believe that I was overheating but felt fine. Without the HR monitor, I would not have known. So I see it as a lifesaver…

Good luck in all your continued successes and thanks for sharing.

Since you wear the clothes more frequently wouldn’t they wear out faster? The way I look at it, each item is good for a number of cycles (wear, wash, fold) so it has to be cost divided by expected life.

Of course, this is why I ignore the trends and am still wearing my Austin Marathon (my first marathon) finisher’s shirt during runs. It hasn’t worn out yet.

#5 and # 7 are too fun!
I would like to have a dog to run with but we have too many cats at home (3) and in the garden (4).
Happy Christmas.

OK – I saw the title and had to kick myself . . . my battery for my heart rate monitor is currently taped to my wallet so that I remember to buy one at the store. First I took the battery out and set it on the counter. It sat there for about 2 weeks. When that didn’t work – about a week ago I taped it to my wallet, in hopes it would remind me to get a new battery. Maybe next I should tape it to my forehead!

I need to get a battery!
Good job on the training.
