| AM - took Finn down to the trails this morning - beautiful weather - slightly cooler and less humid - nice sunrise. Had a cardiologist appt. yesterday and though she doesn't expect to find anything, I am going to be scheduled for a heart catheterization next week. I hope she's right. No restrictions on running or exercise - all my vitals were good etc. But I had 3 times this morning where I felt some "angina" (put it in quotes because I am not sure that's what it is) pressure - 3-4 mins in; then at 37 mins and at 51 mins - lasted probably less than a minute or so - but it is not something that I have experienced since having the stent in December 2018.

| AM - 11 miles with Finn this morning. Really nice weather and without a definite plan on how long we would run - it was nice to just go by feel and monitor Finn's capacity to maintain the distance effort - I think I might have gone a few more miles if I was solo - but pleased with what we got today.

| AM - 6 miles with Greg and Dan this morning - picked Dan up as he was exiting his new neighborhood and met Greg and his dog at Starbuck. Greg told us of his adventures in Alaska having just returned from a quick camping trip there yesterday for a few days.
I discontinued taking the statin that I have been on for about a year - on Friday. The cardiologist had said although she did not think I have a new blockage but wanted to do a heart catheterization to confirm - that it could possibly be the statin that is causing my symptoms. So, I stopped taking it very next day. Each day have felt progressively better - and today I would have to say I have felt like a million times improved (only slightly exaggerated).
PM - 4 more miles on the treadmill.

| AM - a little over 5.5 miles with Dan and Finn on the trails before sunrise. Faster pace without Dan's dog, Rosie, who although she's a very sweet dog and eager to please, is not really built for running at faster paces (over 75 lb lab mix). We usually run slower with her and she takes random breaks at times.

| AM - 6.25 miles in Las Vegas - heading to Anaheim midday today for a different conference.
PM - met up with Greg who coincidentally is at the same conference as me and used to live here. So we went for a run at 3 pm with temps at 90 - but it was dry and we had a good quick-paced 5 miles.

| AM - 8.5 miles with Greg in Anaheim- we ran around the Angels stadium and a trail along the Santa Ana river. Nearly got lost - even though he used to live out here.
PM - 3.75 miles around the perimeter of Disneyland - needed to de-stress a bit. Busy day both at the conference and my day job.

| AM - 8 miles with Greg on a different part of the bike trail.
PM - flew up to San Francisco for my next conference - had an hour or so to kill, so did another 4.5 miles from my hotel down to the water and around the Giant's ballpark - fans lining up to head inside for a game tonight against the Padres. If I did not already have a client dinner scheduled, I would have probably gone back and bought a ticket.

| AM - 5 miles very easy in the first couple of miles - then did some 10 second pick-ups and one longer one. Have a diagnostic heart cath tomorrow to rule out any issues.

| AM - 3.25 miles with Finn before going to the hospital for the procedure. Unfortunately they found a new blockage right near the prior stent. 80% occlusion. New stent is in now and I am to be discharged later this afternoon.

| AM - 3 miles walk/jog - kept the HR average right at 100 bpm and probably jogged as much as I ran. Felt great and normal following yesterday's procedure.

| AM - 3 miles - probably ran more than I walked - maybe 75% running/jogging easy. Walked sharp uphills and averaged HR was just under 120 bpm. Felt fine. Just very cautious in my approach.
