Saturday morning and I think I’m ok……

With the marathon on Monday today really is the last chance for me to be ok, I woke up at 8am feeling ok, but decided to go back to sleep and I woke up again at 9am.

Checking my resting heart rate and Heart rate variability it is much improved over yesterday. my RHR is down from 43 to 40 and my HRV is up from 87 to 100, while I’m very aware of every niggle I think I’m back – I’m ready.

My family however are not – Sinead, Niamh and Fionn all aren’t feeling well and Niamh was sick last night – so if I’m going to Dublin I’ll be going by myself.
