A nice run

I had a nice run this morning around my one-mile route. I felt fine afterwards. My wakeup HR was 53.

Took a walk and then ran

I felt pretty good this morning. I did my 30 situps and 10 pushups, along with my other stretches. Then, my wife, my grandson, and I walked our 0.6 mile loop. Following that I ran my 0.9 mile loop and added 0.1 mile to give me a 1 mile run. The temperature was in the low 60s with a light breeze -- a great morning for running! It's great to be alive!

My wakeup HR was 52.

My wakeup HR was high today

Even though I had a good eight hours sleep last night, my wakeup HR was 56. My body is still recovering from my lack of sleep earlier this week. I'm taking another rest day today.

When I ran marathons in the early '80s, my experience was that a night or two of insufficient sleep required about two weeks of good sleep to get my HR back down. Now, it takes less time since I'm not subjecting my body to the stress of long distance running.

My grandson woke me up...

I was in a sound, great sleep this morning when my grandson came in and woke us up. As I result I only had six hours sleep again and am taking an extra rest day today. My wakeup HR, though, is 53, down one beat from yesterday.

It's a good sign of my recovery that my wakeup HR and my body condition is beginning to be affected by lack of sleep. This shows that the influence of the accident is diminishing. A month ago, I could get six hours of sleep and my wakeup HR wouldn't change, and I would feel about the same as I would have felt with more sleep.

Not sleeping well

I didn't sleep very well last night. I woke up after six hours. My wakeup HR was 54. I worked in my yard for seven hours last Saturday, and was very tired at the end of the day. Perhaps my body is still tired from that. I may have some nervous tension in my life that I'm not aware of. At any rate, I'll see how I feel in the morning after my rest day today.

A good 0.9 mile run

My wakeup HR was 52, the lowest I've had since my accident. My wife, my grandson Ichiro, and I walked the 0.9 mile loop and then I jogged the loop. I felt good today and had a good energy level.
