After a good 5 days of rest, today's run went surprisingly well. HR was down about 10 BPM from similar effort last week. I've cut my BP med in half, and I think it is helping. BP is well within good range, and fatigue has lessened.
Even though it is hot and humid now, I'm going to try to get in 4 runs this week, and see how things go.

Solo lunchtime run at home. Weather was a little cooler than it has been, and the running felt pretty good. I walked a few times...not because I had to, but wanted to see how quickly my HR dropped.
HR/effort is still not back to 100% normal, but things are MUCH better than they have been, and I'm feeling encouraged. Cutting my BP medication in half, seems to have helped (at least mentally, if not physically). My BP is in a normal range, and I'm able to run!
I also found a pair of OAKLEY women's sunglasses along the hwy. No scratches. I think they're real -- gave them to my darling wife! (Happy early Mothers Day, Dear)
6 miles.

Lunchtime run w/ Darin. Ran out into a 10 MPH headwind. Stretched for 10 seconds at the 2 mile mark. Then ran a fairly fast (for me) 2 miles in.
