How to use my HR monitor to measure progress?

Hey all, I recently received a Running watch with a HR monitor as a gift and I’d like to know how to effectively gauge my fitness improvement. I recently gave up smoking and am very unfit! I’m thinking running would be the simplest way to start. Any tips would be great. (The watch is a garmin forerunner 610)
