Well, I picked up a heart monitor from my cardiologist on Friday and, of course, there have been no heart problems since. Every day that passes leaves me a little more disheartened. Trying not to think about it, though.
I ran six miles Monday in 22 degree weather with my running partner. This morning I went to spin class and worked hard again. Spin class was fun as we explored different cadences and resistance levels. We started at 68, added some resistance, then moved up to 72, 76, 80, 85, 91, then 108! That 108 was crazy fast! My favorite cadence was 91. I was somewhat surprised by that because when I begin on the spin bike I struggle to stay above 80. But when we got to the 91, the cadence felt comfortable and natural.
Due to the heart monitor, I will be putting my swimming on hold for a few weeks. I'm not too concerned about it, though. Swimming comes easy to me and I'll be able to jump back in when the time comes. I will miss it, though. Swimming is by far the most relaxing workout (if that even makes sense because I am pushing hard, but the quietness and alone-ness with just my thoughts relaxes me).
