And guess what: I feel tired! and I have PVCs. This is so weird.
Good job on the average HR. But WTF on the PVC's. Is it possible that you have an electrolyte imbalance? Doesn't have to be potassium, it can happen with too little sodium or calcium. It's possible that it could happen with other minerals as well but I don't know too much about those.

If there's nothing seriously wrong with you and it's not your electrolytes, you might want to try acupuncture. They do treat these sorts of things from time to time and apart from the cost, you really don't have anything to lose. Oh, in case you were worried, they're not going to stick needles in your chest. Usually in the arms, hands and lower legs.

Yes, running slowly is boring. I do drills sometimes on slow runs to break it up. And remember, you must run slow to run fast, Grasshopper.
