Heart Felt Insomni-run

Run: 7.5 miles in :56:00 min. @ 4:05 a.m.
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 59°F, 72% Humidity, Wind: From SSE @ 11 mph, gusting to 22 mph; feels like 59°F.
Pace: 7:32 min/mile
Course: Out and about.


After spending two days and a night in the hospital last weekend for a virus(?) which presented itself as a heart attack-ish type physical ailment, I find myself not feeling all that much better... which is not surprising as there was no real diagnosis except to tell me that "it's a virus." Hopefully, today OI can schedule a follow-up with my primary physician who can tell me more.

Of course, preceding any discussion of what was wrong with me , the tending physician (after reviewing all manner of cardiographs and stress test results, informed me that "you can start running seventeen miles again!"

Which is not quite exactly what I have done (yet), though I have been picking up a mile here and a mile there, thanks primarily to my inability to sleep through the night. Waking up (gain this morning as I did two days ago when I last ran, I forgo my planned morning fifteen minute sit to venture out into the cold and (relatively) empty streets.

It feels great...

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!

Hi Scotty! Thanks for your very kind words about my 'Things I Find' blog. It's really a lot of fun picking up litter and putting it on the web! :)

Wow... glad to hear you're OK but what a scary experience with no real answers. I've been too busy to blog or visit much but I've noticed your new (at least to BlogExplosion) blog and have been stopping by and voting for you from time to time.

Have a great weekend, and take care of yourself my friend.
