appointment with cardiologist 17th may .. Spoke with him yesterday reassured me but no running other than meander with dogs and only if wearing hr monitor and must not get anywhere near 170 ... At almore hey ho .... Just get very tired but did lovely Hatha yoga this morning - felt better for doing it.
The most frustrating thing was and I did stamp my feet and throw a tantram was that my legs felt fine - still do - so frustrating but no can't risk it again ...
Am now trying to figure out how to dog walk slowly enough and feel ok ......
Well what can I say about sunday, lovely course and oh yes hot (but then again I was trying to do a marathon!!!). Where shall I begin .... mmm.... if I tell you that it was my last marathon you may well get the picture. I did it .. at one point HR hit 220 (not good and really took a while to get back down to 160 +) knew I was in trouble when at mile 10 head started to bang and pain in chest (never a good sign) up until then (or 3 mins prior everything felt geat. Saw Mr PF and friends at km 22 in just over 2 hours and just sobbed .. he calmed me down told me he loved me and was immensly proud whatever I did and thern added he knew I wasn't going to give up .. he then made me promise that if I did continue it would be my last marathon so I promised him that. My friend and I (who was amazing) then decided to just have some fun ... which we did .. our derriers (bottoms) were discussed until they realised I could actually understand what the 3 men were saying so they called their friend "Michel" who spoke the english good back for a chat. were given beer, wine & with 3 km to go offered sausages from a bbq .... and even more amazingly didn't do a PW came in in 4hrs (yes 4) 55mins was over the moon with this!!!! Anyway back to cardiologist this week as (seriously) if I don;t move much ok, as soon as I get up and meander about it shoots up goodness knows whats going on but I will get to the bottom of it even if my full marathon days are over ......
Can I still loiter though even if I don't do full marathons ....... please ......
Yer_maj: thats the plan!!!! a cunning plan me thinks but a plan all the same And Mr PF is threatening to cycle the whole route until he knows I've finished then cycle back - fag in hand no doubt!!!!
