Poplar Fuzz
I think I started running seriously again, the first time in months. What made it serious? Hmm, maybe the fact that I wore my Polar watch and heart beat belt to monitor my hbpms (heart beats per minute). It felt really good to run, especially keeping my hpbm in the range between 130 and 140 bpm.
What good is this you may ask? Well, the the heart rate monitor keeps me from training too hard, as well as "sandbagging", i.e. taking it too easy. And initially it makes you feel just like that - running too easily. I would say that 80% of the people that I see running are just running too hard and thus training the wrong way. It's certainly not the way to lose fat, which is probably the main reason people start running in the first place.
Oh, the title of this blog entry. Well, as I was running I could hardly not notice the little fuzz balls floating through the air like in a light snow fall. This from the poplar trees that inhabit much of the path along the Teltow canal.
