Great! Good for you. When do you take it? I am about the same, and take it first thing in the AM - before I get out of bed. Woods Lady

We are starting some training using a HR monitor. I was told to take resting HR before I got out of bed for 5 straight days. The funny thing is on a few of those days I woke up to the alarm with that frenzied reaction. I think my heart rate shot up from the damn alarm.

I had these numbers. 55-46-48-56-50. I entered 49 on the form.

You may also want to measure your recovery heart rate, basically a measure of how quickly your HR drops after exercise.

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

Resting heart rate down to 51bmp. 6 weeks ago it was 60 bmp.

Not suprising - looks like you had a significant mileage increase since the first of the year. Good job!!

I take my resting heart rate every morning before I get out of bed; when it is elevated I use it as a cue to take a rest day (I get a lot of exercise besides running). Hangovers another cue.

Mine is usually in the 40s when I wake up, and 55-60 while at the computer ... oddly though, today and yesterday I woke up with my resting hr at ~100.
