It was tempting to go the full 18 with Allie but I decided to stop at 14.

I think my main problem at the moment is Anemia as my allergies seem to be under control.

For most of the summer I suffered from sinusitis. This in turn led to repeated sinus infections. Apparently, a continuously activated immune system can lead directly to anemia. It's called the "Anemia of Chronic Disease".

The anemia/allergies combination has proven to be pretty formidable even when I'm not sick. I've suffered from a decrease in blood pressure which has led to feeling faint on runs.

My resting heart rate was 68 this morning, a pretty strong symptom of anemia. I usually take my pulse in the high 40s in the morning.

To and from school. Recorded heart rate numerous times in the 70s, including when I woke up. I need to get systematic about this.

Unfortunately this is not a joke,

I went into the Dr because my heart rate has been going kind of whacko. They recorded my resting heart rate in the Dr's office as 91 compared to 67 just two weeks ago and many years of registering in the 50s. After a long discussion of my symptoms they did an EKG followed by a large battery of blood tests.

I got a call shortly after leaving that my EKG revealed a very rare disorder called a mobitz type II arrhythmia. They told me that I can keep running but that I should definitely not push myself too hard. I am fortunate that I am so attuned to my body and made an appointment because apparently this can rapidly progress to something far more serious.

Anyway, now I'm going for an easy run.

Morning HR: 72 

Ran around liberty park with Allie following me on a bike.

I had a new heart rate monitor and wanted to get some data. 

The miles were 7:47,6:53,6:48,6:24.

Avg Heart Rate 133,160,164,174

What interesting is that the middle miles with a 160 heart rate were pretty challenging for me, however it felt pretty natural for me to be running that pace. I sped up a little at the end because I could smell the finish line and also it seemed like after about 2.5 miles my body suddenly "allowed" my heart rate to rise above 160.

Mentally, this effort felt very easy but clearly this was a tough run for me based on the heart rates. Normally I would, I think be about 30-40 seconds a mile faster at the same heart rate.

It's kind of crazy to think what I've been putting my body through in these 5ks - running the first mile in 5:20. Even though in my head it felt like a 5:20, to my heart it was like running a 4:45-4:50 and then attempting to hang on.

The good news is that other than being 30-40 seconds slower my heart rate still got into the correct zones and it came down pretty rapidly after I stopped running.
