Tomorrow we see how running with your heart paces. When they tell you it’s too late to switch races even if you had surgery, you can run the half with no time or finish the full....you finish the full whatever that looks like. #runnersheart #runnerslife #route66marathon #rwtulsa #marathon #allin

When I'm not running, I'm thinking about running. I'm a runningaddict.🏃🏼 #running #wanderlust #runninglife #trilife #runner #runnersheart (bij Ijsbaan)

Running fixes things in my brain that I know no other way to fix. Running on days "I do not feel like it"? Those days, I get reminded I am a fighter, a warrior, and a survivor. The reward for running on those on those days? A level of high, present and alive that is is infinitely wonderful. I remind myself someone is running in more pain. I remind myself that a few short months ago, I was praying to run. I remind myself that someone is praying to run again. #runnersheart #distancerunner (at River Parks Authority)

It's really crazy what my heart rate does after four or five minutes. It just drops and settles into what it needs to do. It's a runners heart. Even without a heart rate monitor I can feel it drop and settle. Today I was on a NordicTrak - yes they still have this machine around - and followed that with a short session on the treadmill #runnersheart #strongheart #fitness #fitdad #fenix3 #beatyesterday #itsgettingbetterallthetime (at Gruber Gym)

"I don't have a runner's body, but I do have a runner'a heart." ❤️ At least that's what I know. My resting heart rate-when laying down and resting-is 43 beats per minute. When I sleep it drops down to 38. And my latest checkup had my doctor giving me a high five as I am "the healthiest 53-year-old" he has ever encountered. 👍👍 ❤️❤️ #fitdad #fitnesslifestyle #runnersheart #strongheart #iloverunning #beatyesterday #fenix3 #itsgettingbetterallthetime (at Gruber Gym)

The first three quarters of this year have been aggravating health wise. Extreme chest colds followed by horrible allergies in the spring. Follow that up with a severe strain of my left MCL. Not once, but twice. Pretty lucky that I didn't tear it. Strained lower back after that. Finally, I benign case of vertigo. Today is the first day that I have felt 'normal'. So much so that I hit the elliptical for nearly 40 minutes and followed that up with a 2.4 mile treadmill run. And for good measure I followed that up by mowing my yard for nearly 90 minutes. It's a big yard. In all I have burned 1,599 calories today. It's good to be back! #fitdad #fitlifestyle #strongheart #runnersheart #cardio #beatyesterday #fenix3 #itsgettingbetterallthetime (at Gruber Gym)
