Today was a harder run than I've done in a while. I'm still averaging a good chunk off my personal best times, but I'm also still taking walk breaks because I'm prone to overdo it and need to bring my pulse down. But I'm getting a lot faster on the hills - when I get to the top of a steady incline with my pulse high enough to need a walk break I check my pace, and it's way faster than it used to be. So I'm still hitting anaerobic blowup states, but at a much faster pace.

I can't work out for a few days because I had a biopsy recently and don't want to cause any bleeding to happen. So I'm just sitting at home even though it's the perfect morning for a hike! Wah.

Can you take a gentle walk, or is even that risking problems for you?

It wouldn't be a risk, but I'm just so tired :( I will wait and see how I feel tomorrow.

That's fair enough. Did you get out today?

My wife and I went out for lunch right after church so I decided to walk rather than run, which was a good decision. Running with a belly full of pizza is a bad idea.

Yes, we did go a slow 2 miles yesterday and today we're going to a gardens attraction where I can walk for a long time...sit and walk and sit and walk if need be. There is sun and shade so it will be nice.

I haven't been walking daily like I really want to because of weather and other things going on. I do try to get 7,000 steps a day though, but I don't think that's enough. I need to do better.

I've been doing more walking and run-walk combinations.

I'm still on a long streak of getting 10,000 steps every day. The last time I didn't was December 31, 2022. I think the last time I failed to get 5000 steps in a day was at the end of May 2021.

I need to get back to 10,000 steps a day, but I have no energy. Tomorrow I get my blood work done for my thyroid, so I'm hoping it will give me a clue as to whether I've strayed from my sweet spot.
