Olympic stars turned Internet meme stars

Hey, when you go around winning gobs of gold medals, someone is bound to find a way to make fun of you (humans can be petty like that), but…dang if these aren’t funny.  Check out Mo Farah Running Away from Things and, my personal favorite, McKayla is Not Impressed.

Heart Rate Training for Idiots

Stumbled upon this blog post at Shut up & Run that made heart rate training a little less of a mystery for me. My Garmin 405 came with a heart rate monitor that I have yet to strap on. I did, however, get that heart rate strap out recently (kudos to me for actually locating it!) and am committed to figuring out how to use the thing. …one of these days.
