This morning I had my medical check-up at work. Everything normal except for slightly high blood pressure, 144/93, I have to check it at home with my OMRON machine to see if this is an anomaly of mine or of the measuring instrument...we'll see.
The electrocardiogram is fine, detecting the typical hypertrophy of the left ventricle that occurs every year and that is due to my athletic training, surely it will be better for me to have an echocardiogram and a stress test to be more sure.
On the other hand, my heart rate at rest during the test was 41 bpm, spectacular...
Then came the hearing and vision tests, unfortunately I have "presbyopia eyestrain", very common for everyone over 40, being 47 I was not going to be an exception. Surely I am going to have to use 1 diopter pharmaceutical glasses for the moment, at least to read, although I have been told not to get used to using them since the eye muscles tend to fade and get worse.
Regarding the audition test, everything was fine, thank goodness!
It is clear that age does not forgive anyone, even if you are the most consistent of athletes, time comes and hits you with its irrelevances, if you then add all the time in which we have been "imprisoned" at home due to the pandemic , still the effects intensify more.
This high blood pressure has me worried, in any case, today at noon I ran again, the day is spectacular so I did 7km in progression in 32'... not bad for a quiet run, don't you think?
In fact, the sensations that I have obtained while running have been good, even better than those obtained last week...
Then some stretching exercises and a shower, all in less than 1 hour.
More details in my next @strava2hive post.
Keep on running!
