I think the pacemaker is finally settling in after 'thinking about it' for a while. Got my last 'settings' in October and now don't have to go back for a year unless something goes wrong - hopefully not, knock on wood. It took about a week after the settings for the pacemaker to say "ahhh, okay, I got it now..' and it seemed to adjust. Right after the adjustment I was feeling kind of tired and, like, this is not working, I want the old setting back. But then it kicked in and now I've been having some really good running. Still not speedy, but I am finally getting underneath 12-minute miles again. Yesterday I ran at Camp Bullis military installation and my last mile was 11:07. So gradually getting there. 3 miles done yesterday. I like running at Camp Bullis. I usually go after work and around 5 pm there is just about nobody on the base. Nice empty streets to run on, the track area all to myself, very little traffic - I encountered 2 vehicles on my run/walk last night - and there is even a nice little gym - pretty small, but works for what I need - to take a shower after so I don't have to drive home all wet and sweaty.

Borrowing from the float interval idea? Basically about 20 minutes of good hard running - nice work.
It's actually exactly 20 minutes.

Bluerun’s pic reminded me of this iconic photo - she’s John Landy except without Roger Bannister passing her up.
😂 Landy’s torso, Bannister’s legs

Forgot I'm meeting the running group tomorrow for my LR at 8am so switched things around and ran 4 instead.

Bought the Ghost 12 NYCM ones and I liked them. They are heavier than what I'm used to but they feel great.
I like the Ghost 11s, but haven't tried the 12s. Our LRS has closed, so I won't get a chance to for a while since my 11s are still fairly new. Are the 12s different from the 11s?
These are my first pair of Ghosts so no idea.
