Ok, I have to confess today was not a good day! And I have to say that ever since I got the results of the first ECG where there was an “abnormality” I haven’t really been at the races at all. It’s a bit of a cop out, but Saturday isn’t a good day to… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 74
January 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
74 Days in and not a lot to show except, as of today, some more doctors bills! So, the story so far. Went to doctor. Was sent for routine ECG to be safe before starting proper training. Something unusual showed up on first ECG, got sent for more tests. That’s the very summarised version of… [Continue Reading]

Well, I finally spoke with my Doctor this morning, turns out she’s not my doctor, but another doctor….I think. Anyway, basically there was a slight issue with my ECG. It’s nothing major, but it is something so we need to have it looked at to see and make sure there’s nothing suspect. I’ve got to… [Continue Reading]

If you’ve been following my posts at all you’ll probably have read that I was sent for an ECG when I decided to run the marathon just to check everything was ok and to get base levels for my training purposes. Went to Vincent’s, got that done, everyone is happy. Then I got a message… [Continue Reading]

No gym today and the whole ECG/Echo thing is still playing on my mind. I called the doctor this morning, but they are actually still closed and don’t open until tomorrow after the Christmas holidays. I know I’m sort of obsessing about it at this stage, but it’s just nagging at me now. I just… [Continue Reading]

Man, I have eaten so much crap and junk food over the last 3 days it’s disgusting. What a lovely few days Christmas was, but as usual (well, usual now, not previousl), after 4 days of no exercise I was getting really fidgety, so I drove back to the apartment and did 40 minutes on… [Continue Reading]

Today was an absolutely manic day (as you might expect in the run up to Christmas) (Day 58 was 23 December FYI) and I went straight from the radio show, to the house, to lunch with my friends Adam and Mary, to up town last minute Christmas shopping to home to Orla to veg night… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 36

All the marathon training sites tell me that you should go and see your doctor before taking up heavy/serious exercise, particularly if you haven’t done exercise in a good while, so today I went to the doctor and she gave me some tips and pointers on how to go about starting training seriously. FYI my… [Continue Reading]
