AM - 5.25 miles with Finn this morning.   He cut things short - apparently out of shape since he has not run in over a week.  :)

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.
