Walked and jogged (just a little, mostly walked) for an hour today. The first time I began to jog, my pulse quickly rose from 104 to 133. It accelerated much faster than normal. It stayed higher than usual for the level of activity, but I felt fine otherwise, so I took a second round of my half-hour circuit. Yesterday the same happened but I also felt that my lungs could not breathe as deeply as usual, as if I had a pneumonia or a weak asthma attack, but I felt nothing like that today. Then again I did not try jogging more than just sporadically.<\/p>\n
At the furthest point during my second round my heart started beating over 140 even though I was not jogging. Stopping did not slow it, but entering a more meditative brain state did. Or perhaps it was just coincidence. Anyway, it went back to 120, which is acceptable for a brisk walk. More than I am used to, but still. I stopped after these two rounds. My legs felt stiff and tired and even my upper body is a bit stiff. So, not the day.<\/p>\n
Tuesday I was sick (digestion) and Monday was raining, so these two days were the first since Sunday, when I had two 90-minute jogs (one in the morning and one after sunset) and burned some 1200 calories according to my pulse watch. (Well, 1500, but I have to subtract 300 for basic metabolism.) Today was 600, so 500 extra. I felt fine on Sunday, even after the second trip, so I doubt that has much to do with how I feel now four days later.<\/p>\n
I won’t say “this day is fired” as some of my American friends say. My life consists entirely of days, and all of them are precious and beloved. But a great performance review it won’t get.<\/p>\n
