First outdoor run in a week after an afib attack last week and I swear I almost killed myself.

Breathing was a failure with the heat and humidity. There was a lot of run / walk and I’m thinking I hurt my foot because there is something wrong with this specific pair of Novablast.

Or I think there is

To my friends in RI, would you believe this race is closer to you than it is to me?

I wish I thought I would be ready to run it because I absolutely love The Poconos and this looks beautiful

Monday Runday.

Was supposed to be 20 minutes of goal pace sandwiched between 30 easy minutes.

I felt good and pushed it a little harder and ran it between 6.9 and 7.1 mph and keeping my average heart rate at 135, although on flat ground.

Human. You watch Project Hail Mary. I will sleep and dream of eating people’s heads.

No way I was running outside today.

Didn’t mess with elevation on the treadmill today.

Started at 5.3 mph and for the first mile, I increased .1 for every half mile

For miles 2 and 3 I increased .1 for every .4

Then every .3.

This was while subtracting .1 for every 2 songs.

Setting my playlist to random and Having Meatloaf’s “Bat out of Hell” took up most of miles 2 and 3 which gave no decrease until mile 4.

This as my playlist did not leave me too many opportunities to decrease.

But with an average heart rate of 116, I probably could have skipped decreasing altogether.

I’m curious? Any other runner with afib that don’t have anyone who understands to talk with?

My body seems to go into Afib every Wednesday.

So, I went into my long run on the treadmill hoping to start slow and have my body reset.

Luckily it as I entered the gym.

That You, Jesus.

Just a pic of the clouds that I forgot to share the other day.

It looks like it was telling me to make a change for once in my life….
