Today was my first run with m new Fitbit Charge HR. I finally received my Fitbit yesterday after waiting patiently for a few days. Patience was never my strong suit. The past few days we have been staying at my parents before hitting it back to work because we currently don't have a home. We live at work more then our time off plus work covers our hotel stay which has been helping us save money for a real home. I decided today that I needed to do something for physical exercise to test the Fitbit out, and running is perfect. I did 3.62 miles on my parents road. The weather was good. 75 degrees with low humidity. The only downside was the lack of shade of the road, so I am pretty sure I am going to have a sunburn on my face.

My post run selfie. So HAWT lol

I really liked the breakdown of the exercise that gives me a better sense of my run. I can see where my intervals of walking to running to walking. That is pretty cool. I have heard that one of the negatives to the Fitbit HR is that the heart rate monitor can be more inaccurate during a workout. I checked mine through out my run and it appeared to be accurate.

So yes, I feel like I am really going to like this neat gadget. I also like tracking my sleep and the challenges you can do with your friends. Might be too early to say this but I would highly recommend getting the Fitbit Charge HR if you want to get a better look at your work outs and daily life.
