    'nother good week. one of my training guidelines is to only try to
    increase one thing a week...whether it's total mileage, the length of a
    long run, or the intensity of a run...this week was some intensity.

    found out on monday during a routine test that I was skipping
    heartbeats and that I had a 1st degree heart block. they think that
    the skipped beat was the medication + the procedure (vagal tone) + low
    resting heart rate (more vagal tone) and that the heart block is
    probably from the same, but I get to go for a stress test. should be
    fun.

    m: dnr.
    t: 11miles, mostly flat, nice new course. 1:30:14.
    w: 6.44miles, hard on hills at the end, 50:38.
    r: bike to and from work, 1:10.
    f: dnr.
    s: central park, 6.03miles, steady, hard after the big hill and hard
    over the rollers at the end, 46:24, about 15 minutes of running to and
    from the park.
    s: same, but with a hangover, used race course markers for splits.
    easy at first. 8:31 8:39 8:24 8:03 (up and down big hill) 8:03
    (rollers) 7:22 finish. somewhere in there is an extra 0.03 miles. 20
    minutes of warmup and cooldown.

    33.3 miles. next week will break 40 miles.

    g.grav - I assure you, it is in your honor that I'm training at the
    same mileage and pace, with the same target for next week, and
    furthermore that I had my first-ever EKG performed last week as part of
    a <prefix>-annual checkup.

    So if my EKG shows a couple heart abnormalities, I'm supposed to crank
    up the intensity, huh?

    Running Queens next week?

    Why, thank you, I think. I'm slower than you at this time, and my
    longest run in years was last Tuesday at 11 miles, but in the virtual
    world, my half marathon PR kicks your ass...1:33 something at Grete's
    Gallop about 5 years ago. I will shatter it this year, either at
    Grete's or at the Boston half, or maybe sooner.

    Absolutely. Well, my Doc isn't that worried, he has an EKG on file
    from a few years ago that didn't show this, and in about 80% of the
    people that have this, happen to be runners or such. I wasn't running
    back then, so if it was caused by something serious, it would have
    shown up then. My wife is a Doc and she isn't worried either.
    Basically, she thinks I'll have fun on the stress test and insurance is
    paying for it, so why not? I did do a few of these efforts this week
    in "preparation" for my test.

    nope, I was just down there visiting. Is it still two laps? I did it
    once, it sucked. There were a lot of 90 degree turns, short steep
    hills, and concrete streets, if I recall correctly.

    Close but no virtual Garcia y Vega. 1:31:xx at Grete's about 7 months
    ago.

    Yup, that's the one. Course didn't bum me out, but then I particularly
    enjoy running in new (to me) neighborhoods. I think last year it was
    just about the first warm day of the year, so nobody was heat
    acclimated and nearly everyone faded badly on the second lap. 'twas my
    first HM and I had a healthy respect for the distance, ended up running
    nearly even splits and didn't get passed at all the second lap while
    passing dozens if not hundreds.
