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.

Wahoo! That's great! Sometimes it's the little things that make us happy...

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!

Maybe we could call it Team DHL (Defective Hearts & Lungs) and get some corporate sponsorship....

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!!!
