More Prep For Leg 2

Yesterday I had my first echocardiogram.  Apparently one of the possible side effects of all the cocktails is weakening of the heart so regular checks will be the norm for a while, along with the many white-haired folk.  Another department to get to know at the hospital.  It was just like having an ultrasound when you're pregnant, except that there was none of the excitement of hearing your baby's  heartbeat.  (Of course, hearing your own healthy, rhythmic heartbeat does make you feel good, too!)  Hopefully it's just another precaution, and I will be running the Crescent City Classic next spring!  Something to look forward to....maybe I should buy a new outfit just for the occasion.  Time to do some shopping on Skirt Sports.
