PM - 7.3 miles with Dan and Finn.  Dan showed me a new trail that I never knew existed.  Felt a few “episodes” mostly on uphills - where I walked for a bit to ease the discomfort.

No running today or for a little while.  Went to the doctor today - and have been referred to a cardiologist to conduct a stress test.  BP and HR were fine - but the ECG showed inverted T waves - which could be indicative of something.  I previously had a similar ECG a few years ago and had a stress test and that proved to be a diagnosis of "athlete's heart" (a benign condition) which usually presents with inverted T waves but otherwise asymptomatic.  

I was told to not engage in any exercise at least until the stress test is concluded and the cardiologist releases me and all of my labs results have been reviewed.  :(

Trying to follow doctor's orders not to run at least until my stress test has been done.  Walked a mile on the treadmill - HR never exceeded 85 bpm...did some yoga.

Walked a half mile on the treadmill and then rode on the Peloton bike with a "low impact" endurance ride for 15 mins - avg HR was 99 bpm.  (I feel fine)
