August "Don't Be A Slacker" Challenge (Page 9)

pdbman - 2010-08-24 2:19 PM
As the saying goes, life is what happens when you make other plans. Went for a run Saturday night and literally came staggering home (Severe chest pains, blah, blah, blah). Wife rushed me to the hospital and now I am finally home.  The tests all come back fine. Angiogram doesn't show any blockage or narrowing of the arteries. Heart function looks normal, mostly. They did find that my heart pauses after a deep breath but they weren't overly concerned about it after the angiogram. I am supposed to go back in to see the cardiologist in a couple of weeks. I guess that means I am out of the challenges for the next little while.

Which brings my first tri season to an end without even doing a single race. I know "All those posts and you haven't even done a single race?" I like to chat and I like the challenges to keep me going. I had this whole season mapped out with a race every month from April through Aug and something came up every time (sickness, family obligation, etc). I was going to do a late season tri next month but now that is out too. Hopefully everything will be in order soon so I can get back on track and be ready for next season.

I hope its ok if I still hang around even though I can't do the challenge. Like I said, I like to chat.

Artemis - 2010-08-25 8:08 AM I am over my run goal (60 miles) for the month as of this morning, so I raised my goal to 80 miles of running.

owl_girl - 2010-08-25 12:30 PM

I caught my son's cold.  I won't be hitting my goals this month.

Artemis - 2010-08-25 12:38 PM



Hope you feel better soon!

D001 - 2010-08-25 5:42 PM x2! A lot of people at work are sick with the bronchitis thing. I'm thinking of hosing the place down with Lysol.

owl_girl - 2010-08-25 10:57 PM

This is crazy this year!  I've never seen so many people with summer colds!  I'm worried about this winter!

D001 - 2010-08-24 6:16 PM You live an exciting life. I think I'll stick with my inflated tires and earth that doesn't move.....

D001 - 2010-08-24 6:17 PM Slacking off?
