My 5th week with a pacemaker. [View all]

Jogged 3 times this week. Miles, 3, 5 and 4. Average speed 13 and half minute per mile. Out side in the cold.

Feeling great and less tired during and after my runs. I have put on an extra 10 pounds. I'm 71 years old.

My resting pulse is now 80 beats per minute. A month before I got the pacemaker it was 45 and the week or two before I went it dropped to the high 30s and was at 28 the day I went to the ER.

I now wear a mask when I run. I can breath easier with it on as it warms the air I breath in and keeps pollen and dust out of my nose.
