i'm a danger to the new people out in the bush that aren't use to seeing a cyclist. they don't know whether to hit me, stay away from me or what.

i actually had one car drive by me 3 times in less than 5 mins trying to figure out if what they saw was right. i waved everytime too, the the looks kept getting stranger. i think they thought they were hallucinating.

I have makeup on!! I had to document this moment! I took myself to the Clinique counter today, because one should probably purchase new stuff more often than once every six years. I feel spoiled.

I could *totally* get used to this not working thing. I'm glad it's only for a short amount of time (or I would spend all of my money) but it sure is nice!

This morning I overslept, so no run. Waited 'til ~6 PM so it would be a bit cooler, and at least not sunny. Fine. 82 degrees. OK. Ran 2.75 miles. Did not feel great. Chest pressure. Stopped at one point and counted. 18 PVCs in one minute. No wonder. This sucks. No pain, no shortness of breath...well, gasping for breath, but just the usual!

Good news is, my legs feel fine, not even tired. I'm thinking, how can I get faster when my heart mis-fires so many times? Blech.

to most of you, except those down under, have been doing this for a while, but last night i was actually able to run in shorts!
it was about 55*, misting and no wind. threw the shorts on and went out the door without a second thought. it was so nice. it was actually the first time i ran in shorts and they were my bran spankin new UA compression shorts, which i really like. they didn't creap at all.
of course today its blowin hard, raining and cold, but its ok because i got out in shorts yesterday.

Maybe we should just start a Team Heart and Lung Defects. MP could join because of her lungs, Lise because of her heart, and me because of both!

Okay - that is super scary and weird. Have you ever had this before? Why the heck are you getting it now?? What is causing it??? Can it be controlled - other than skipping caffeine? What the heck!!?!?

I have a friend who has the cardiac arrythmia where his heart beats super fast at times. He was unable to complete the Death Ride this year because he kept having to get off his bike and lie down to get his heart rate down. Scary stuff!!!
