Appt today
So.. the appointment today went well, I made it 8 minutes 26 seconds on the treadmill. I probably could have gone a bit longer if the speed were turned up faster. It was going an in between speed that wasn't a fast walk, but wasn't a real jog either. My heart rate was 189 when I said enough. I'll find out either the end of the week or Monday what they determine.

Cardiologist
Tomorrow I go to see a cardiologist and do a stress ekg. I'm not excited about it. All the blood work the doctor did two weeks ago came back negative or inconclusive. (I guess I should talk about the doctor's appointment... I've been wanting to go in and have a general check up for years, I know, I know years??? But yes, for some reason or another, I just never made it in. My heart rate has always concerned me. I went in just over a week ago and they ran all kinds of blood tests to check vitamin levels and hormone levels and thyroid stuff. Since none of those showed anything of concern, the next step is to have a stress ekg and meet a cardiologist.)
I'm a little concerned, when I took my dad to his stress ekg appt, they told him he needed surgery immediately and ended up with a triple bypass days later! I'm much healthier then my dad was, and quite a bit younger too :). I'm sure I'll be fine, I'm just a worry wort.
I had another post that I never finished, and didn't post, so sorry, there would have been an update last week saying that I've almost booked up every weekend for next summer! Too much to do!!!

Sore Legs!
This weekend, we had to take an unplanned trip to Livingston, Montana to help out some dahlia friends dig their plants. After squatting twice at each plant (130 plants) to mark and label, then again to cut, then again to dig, my legs feel awful! I am getting more and more out of shape every day. Since it is now time to cut and dig the Manito garden and my garden and the garden at the cemetery, my legs are going to be getting quite the workout this week.
I was invited to do the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll (half) Marathon with a friend. I seriously considered it, but I won't be able to do it, it's the first weekend of December, and I already have something scheduled.
I'm still trying to think of some monthly goals for my training. There has been too much going on to sit down and think about it. I also learned that my brother's wedding is going to be the same weekend as the Radiant Lake Tri in June, so I'll not be doing that race again next year. Now, I'll think about adding in the Snake River Tri in April for an early season race. That one is a two day race with the swim in a pool the day before the bike and run. Also, we would have to travel for it... I don't know.
