Great Cardio Workout Today

Went to one of my trails (Lancaster Junction Trail) & had a great 5 mile walk-run (mostly run).  The weather was great(45-50 degrees) & there was not much traffic on the trail.

My workouts still consist of a brisk walk & a few runs of 30 seconds to one minute runs.  Hope to build the jogging up the next few weeks.  Did not wear my heart monitor today, since my last stress test I feel fairly confident with my workouts.

Next cardiologist appointment is March 22 & I will wear the heart halter for 24 hours that week.

Three Days After Using Picato Gel

I have taken a little vacation from my focus on the heart to focus on skin!  As I mentioned earlier, my generation was never that good at skin acre & sunburn!  So, the treatment of Picato Gel has been my next medical adventure!

After applying the Picato, it felt like a bad case of sunburn!  I put the gel above and below my eyes.  After three days I am now peeling and I have a few blisters.  And just like sunburn, I am at the stage that my skin area is beginning to itch!

I am glad that I made that trip to the dermatologist!  If anyone out there is age 50 and above, get your skin checked!  Just like the heart, it is time!!!
