It's been a little while since my last post so I need to catch up.
First, the good news/bad news. My stress test came back fine so that is good news however, I still don't know why I get out of breath walking up stairs and why my chest burns when I expend too much energy without a proper warm-up. I'm going to work on improving my endurance (if that's possible) by following the Maffetone principle which is running aerobic for substantial period of time. I've been working on it for the past few weeks and have already seen an improvement so hopefully that will be the answer.
I'm still waiting to hear about the job at the health club. I'm not sure if no news is good news, bad news or just no news. Hopefully I'll know before the week is out. If I don't get the job there, I will probably pursue renting space at the salon where I get my hair cut. I think it would be a great space and with the clientele that goes there I think I'd get more than enough business. I still would prefer to work at the health club and let them get the clients and supply the supplies. Call me lazy! Actually the best benefit would be that if I didn't have a client during my scheduled work time, I could leave the spa and go home or work out. How perfect is that!!!!!
Running is still not totally pain free. I'm still only running every other day and ended up only running the half marathon race instead of the marathon distance at a race we went to over the weekend. Frank ran the 40 miler so I had a few hours to wait around for him. Fortunately it was a beautiful day to just hangout in the sun. We both won our age groups so that was fun.
It's frustrating to not be back to pre-Umstead condition. I've done about everything I can do so now will just concentrate on not overdoing it as well strengthening it. I can't believe that this has been going on for so long but hopefully it will be a thing of the past in the not to distant future.
Gotta Run!
