Heart monitor goes haywire?

Today, I began my usual run but discovered, about three minutes in, that I’d not set the stopwatch going. That was okay: I took some time to stretch and then started my 30-minute run in earnest.  (Actually, I ran for 33 minutes.)

My heart monitor didn’t seem to be working properly: the readings were too high to jibe with what I was experiencing. At one point, the monitor read 220! For a while, it was in the 160s and 170s; but I couldn’t have been running that hard. I wasn’t breathing too hard, nor were my legs tired, nor did I feel nauseous. I’m going to replace the battery; perhaps that will make a difference.
