#ParkRun kicked my ass all over the place this morning. Frustrating recurrence of #AFib (#AtrialFibrillation) which presents as shutting my body down whenever my heart rate gets to a certain point. So 5 minutes in all the air leaves my body, I get tunnel vision then start to black out. Of course as soon as my heart rate comes back down I'm fine again. Trish wanted me to just walk round, but I hate that so instead did a long series of stop/start running, punctuated by occasionally having to crouch so I didn't faint, then after pushing myself at the end.... having to have a bit of a lay down on the floor, which I have to tell you made everyone VERY nervous, despite me assuring them I'd be fine. Was talking to one of the Marshals I like who's in a wheelchair about it and going on about how much I hate walking round, to which he pointed out I was a fucking idiot and he'd love to be walking round...
.
But!.... I did it. And like the Marshal said; better to be out and about and getting round in any time than not doing it at all. Which of course is right and I guess I'm just going to have to up the beta blockers and take it a little easier for a minute. Which is annoying for someone like me who's only about 24 years old.
Whinge whinge moan. I'm very lucky really! And it's a lovely day. I hope anyone bothering to read this load of old shit is fantastically well and that you have literally the best day you've ever had in your LIFE! All downhill from here, baby! This is the best you get and then you die. Sorry I don't make the rules.
