They Know at Work

The guys at work know I am a little silly, they are also expecting me to fall over having a heart attack any day. There is no logic to their thinking just because one of our workmates, ( a very dedicated and hard training veteran cyclist) is off work for 3 months at least after having chest and arm pains. Luckily he was at home at the time and after an urgent trip to hospital, the doctors found 7 blocked or burst open arteries. Very lucky to be alive. He pushed himself really hard in both training and racing and paid the price.
Ewen also writes about running in different heart rate zones. It has never really been a priority of mine. Yesterday after the bike ride during my short run, I stopped at a gate and checked my pulse. Counted for half a minute and counted 45 beats, that's only 90 bpm during a run. I certainly don't push too hard.
Today just a run home for lunch, around the back of Bonython, over to Pine Is, along the river track to Point Hut and up Woodcock and Johnson Drs to home.
Some at work also know about this secret little blog, so I must be careful from now on about the contents.
