It has been a curious winter. A few weeks ago my computer program that I use for cycling started registering heart rate spikes in the high 100s. I ended up with a VIO heart rate monitor patch for two weeks. I continued to cycle. A week ago last Friday I cycled for an hour and my heart rate stayed at 200 or above for about 35 minutes. I felt drained. That evening we went to dinner at a neighbors and on the way home my heart went nuts. I put on pulse of and it recorded 250. I spent the night in the hospital and have not been able to ride for the week. I see the cardiologist tomorrow morning. I'm not sure which is worse, the crazy pumping or not being able to ride. I can feel my body turning to mush.

Last night I gave a talk in Hermiston Oregon. What wonderful people!
