Heart Rate Monitor

I've got some gift certificate from Toby's and I really wanna buy a Heart Rate Monitor. I learned that Toby's only carry one particular brand for this and that is Polar. I don't have any idea on which one to buy yet because the only thing I know is that the budget is 5K. Hopefully I can find a good one for this amount. Anyone who can help me, please do leave it on the comments. No one wants to waste money for a piece of crap if ever I made a mistake in choosing one so guys...


In the meantime, I did some research about getting the right HRM though: 


Who Can Benefit from a Heart Rate Monitor?

"Casual joggers and walkers: Recreational exercisers can benefit from heart rate monitors in the same way as elite athletes do. By aiming for fat burning and aerobic target zones on your HRM, you can ensure that you get more out of your exercise time than you would get from a typical stroll around the block.

My Runniversary

My first run happened last May 29, 2010.

This is the Kerygma Fun Run. I am a fan of Bro Bo Sanchez so, I registered on the longest distance of this event - 5K. Hahaha! My friend Mich was actually the one who insisted/forced me to join the 5K. I am hesitant at first because I dont have any idea how far that was. It was held at the MOA grounds. Thousands of people joined this event and I will never forget how fun my first run was.

In this first run, my husband and daughter were also there to support me. They are there waiting for me in the finish line. The 5K route on this event is known as the C-loop (technically it is 6K long).
