AM - 3 miles with Finn this morning before work. My resting HR was back to normal overnight and had gradually gone down each day since Wednesday. Unfortunately I still felt kinda crappy where it feels like my heart is working too hard - but not with a high HR. Starts around 5-6 mins into the run and then subsides after about another 5-7 mins and becomes intermittant. Does not make for a relaxing or enjoyable run. Ran the first mile in like 11:30 and the next 2 at 9:20 pace - so it is not as though I am running too hard. Need to sort this out.

PM - 5.5 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime. Today went a little bit better. I kept my effort very easy - still had a few episodes of discomfort - but had patches of feeling normal too.

AM - traditional Thanksgiving Day 5k in Atlanta - “ran” with the family and friends. Had a really nice day with lots of good food and fellowship.

AM - 5 miles with Riley, Nick and Finn on a chilly breezy overcast morning. I continue to have “episodes” of what I describe as a blood pressure spike - that lasts about 10 to 15 minutes after the first half mile of a run. Really unpleasant. And then it improves for a while. Never had this happen before and there’s no family history for high BP. Seeing a doctor for my annual physical on Monday.

PM - 8 miles on the treadmill. Tested my BP every 8-10 mins - not sure what the data means just yet.
