Well I wasn't able to run yesterdaybecause of my endoscope, I was pretty much out of it most of the day from being put under. The doctor said that when he got in there he said my esophagus was 50% closed to what is normal, so they stuck a balloon in there and enlarged my air way similar to what they do for the heart. The Doctor said he was surprised with all the running that I have done that I didn't pass out for lack of enough air for my lungs and heart, he alos mentioned that I would see a big difference in my running as the weeks go on and my lungs get use to the extra air, it really is bazzare... Also the doctor found some sores that where on  my throat probably from acid reflux, so I will be on some medicene to help get that under control, but I was really releaved that there was no cancer... Today I just did a recovery run as I am still a little groggy from yesterday and my throat is still sore and tender, my average pace was 8:57 and my heart rate average was 134 total time was 1:03:08. My splits went as  follows; 9:04(129), 9:01(133), 8:50(135), 8:53(136), 8:57(135), 8:51(140) had a small hill in that one, 8:55(137). I would like to do a tempo run tomorrow and I am hoping that I will be feeling up to it, I would like today a 3 to 4 mile tempo run with 2 miles of warm up and 2 miles of cool down, we shall see.
