I walked 3.5 miles this morning through Kensington Market to College and Spadina before returning home. I extended the distance I can run, without walking, to 1.5 miles. Again I failed to drink water before I jumped on the treadmill. There is no doubt this cost me a 2 mile run. Still I'm happy with the increased distance.
I have my annual physical on Feb. 14th. I will have my doctor look at my blood pressure medication. I find that when I get into shape, the medicine reduces my heart rate. The dosage of my medicine is for when I'm out of shape. As I lose weight and increase my endurance, the less I need the medicine. My resting heart rate is down 20 beats a minute. Not a bad sign, but I would prefer to take less medication.
My doctor told me once that if I ever got into truly great shape, I would likely no longer require any blood pressure medication.
