Ah the joys of parenting teens/young adults while we are in our "stupid" phase (according to them). We may be stupid and out of touch, but we have the pursestring's which enable their lives. Challenging to keep a balanced and Christian interaction when they push your buttons.

From Holt on Mon, Jan 28, 2019 at 14:09:53 from 204.113.55.120

From Bob on Mon, Jan 28, 2019 at 15:07:03 from 174.221.30.97

Convinced me that phone/tech addiction is real. Social media controlling our kids? Sure makes parenting more difficult. She becomes a zombie if we let her have the phone all the time because sleep is then compromised. So we’ve dropped the hammer. Fun times.

Sorry about the knee issues. Old guy runners and knees lately have been a disturbing trend on the FRB.

From Bob on Tue, Feb 19, 2019 at 11:36:14 from 174.221.134.249

Yes, pretty sure mine is a combo ITB and patella tendinitis. So if I’m smart I should be able to work through it.

Easy MilesMarathon Pace MilesThreshold MilesVO2 Max MilesTotal Distance
2.000.000.000.002.00

Jog and walk on the treadmill while heart rate testing.

Went in for my annual pacemaker check-up about two weeks ago.  Pacemaker data shows several "high heart rate" alerts since the last time I had a check-up.  Cardiologist thinks it's some kind of exercise induced tachycardia.  So for the past couple weeks I've been wearing an extra monitor (like a portable ECG) to collect more heart rate data.  I've had a handful of tach episodes since then with the highest recording at 180 bpm while standing around after a jog.  The only way I can slow it down is using a manual vagal maneuver. Doc called last week and says I have exercise induced supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which is causing my heart rate to bounce around sporatically during exercise and sometimes beat uncontrollably fast.  I've tried beta blockers before and they simply suck in my opinion.  So we are more than likely at the point of having an ablation.  Going to talk it over some more.

Sorry about the injury, that is frustrating.

Thanks, yep, going to start out slow and low and build from there. Almost feels like I'm starting all over again.
