Shopping excursion over with. Did something totally out of character. Bought lightweight shorts, shirts and a hat. Very stylish. Also bought a new bike helmet, decent running shoes, a phone holder for the bike, pens, legal pads, Ginko and St. Johns Wort tablets and a few other things.
My resting heart rate has gone from the low 80s to the mid 70s in the space of a week. My goal is the mid to upper 60s which is quite good for a 51 year old man who doesn't do a heck of a lot.
