I usually don't run on Sunday unless there is a race, so I think I will try to use the Sunday blog to note other aspects of my fitness program.
1. Resting heart rate in the mornings this past week have typically been 47 to 48.
2. Polymyalgia Rheumatica muscle disorder status. It has now officially been 2 years since I started seeing muscle aching symptoms. The doctor said this disease normally goes away within 2 years, so I am very hopeful I can soon begin reducing my medication. A week ago I reduced my Prednisone medication down to 7 mg a day (4 mg in the morning and 3 mg at night). Today I am noticing aching between the shoulder blades in the back. Have to watch it and see if I raise the medication back to 8 mg.
3. Core strength training. Boy am I missing on this one. Nothing to report. No situps, no crunches, no push-ups, nada.
