I could see that from the other patients waiting, none of them looked healthy. We stopped the treadmill at a point far beyond the target, and I could have kept going but the point was already made and was still talking to the techs like nothing was happening. If you've ever done a stress test you know how it gets progressively harder, I was two stages past target.

It is a sunny day today, but winds are gusting over 20mph and even in my best shape I hate riding in the wind. Maybe it's just a day to do laps in the park. I can hear the wind whistling while I type this. Ugh.

And to think I'd posted about my first 50 mile ride and hundred mile week just 6 weeks ago and now I have to start again. It won't take long I hope to get up there.
