Maniac 505
Thanks for the heart murmur thoughts. Since it is new, the doctor thought it would be worth having it checked out, He didn't seem really worried and he told me to absolutely continue running. I am not concerned, but he is not going to sign my fit to dive medical form (required annually by the Seattle aquarium) untill after the echo cardiogram.
6 miles in the park this morning followed by SCUBA in the afternoon.
[[[[[dive]]]]......hopefully you'll get signed off.......GoodWishes to ya....
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Tom, thanks for the thoughts, but as I said, I am not worried. at this point your [[[[[[[[[[[[ ]]]]]]]]]]]] are better spent sent to [[[[[[[[[[[Japan]]]]]]]]]]]] and anyone else that needs them.
I don't usually run much on Fridays, but took advantage of the day off, the brilliant sunshine and temps almost up to 30 to get my Saturday run in. Ended up with 11 miles with plenty of tempo pace and effort (the effort comes in where the terrain is a bit hilly for holding true tempo pace, but I sure worked at it).
8:17
7:56
8:24 (big hill, one of my better times up this hill!)
7:47
7:53
8:06
8:31 (ok, this would've been faster, but stopped to talk to a couple who'd pulled over to warn me about moose ahead on the road and didn't stop my Garmin, oops)
7:45
8:13
8:15 (these last two miles are the uphill miles back to home)
I'm pretty happy with this especially considering the hills and the ice out there. A few more days like today though, and I'm hoping that ice is on it's way out! And with the deep snow getting compressed a bit, the moose are hanging around on the roads so something else to watch out for.
So... tomorrow I'll run an easy 5 or so which is what I'd normally do if I ran on a Friday...
