Well today is the first day of December, and I will be 54 in 2 days. I got a bit carried away today on the treadmill, and a I pushed a little harder than I normally do. I maintained my heart rate over 160bpm for the last five minutes of a 45 minute workout and maxed out at 167bpm. That is the highest heart rate I have seen since I turned 50 - maybe even well before that. The last time I can remember seeing higher than 167 was when I was still in the Navy and running on a treadmill in a Navy gym. I remember getting my heart rate just over 170bpm. It was during my last tour so I had to be between 43 and 46 years old - close to 10 years ago. I am pretty happy with current level of fitness.
