I fell off the wagon again. My last run was a few days after my last post - I couldn't make it through the last day of week 5 due to period pain. I have endometriosis, and it was awful trying to even walk - but, after the worst had passed, I should have started running again. I didn't, and one missed week turned into another, and here we are 6 weeks later. I could have been done with the program by now if I had stayed with it.

Regardless, yesterday I started over with W1D1.

Fortunately my heart is still in good shape, and conduction is in good shape - only minor PVCs compared to previous tests. My valves are a bit more leaky than they used to be, so I might be looking at a mitral valve replacement sometime, but not soon.

The interesting thing is that I've been temporarily moved to the cardiac rehab unit. After patients have a cardiac event, (surgery, stents, valve replacement, etc) they come and exercise 40 sessions while hooked up to the monitor, and we make sure they're in good rhythm and exerting appropriately. I decided I'd rather be one of the energetic looking ones, rather than the fat old guys plodding at 1mph.
