No running - Boo-urns

I wanted to keep a stable base of running for the beginning of the year, but unfortunately I havent been able to run at all. Just walking around the house and doing chores leaves me light-headed, and weak.

In Sept-Oct, I had four hard events in six weeks (Rae in a Dae, Santa Cruz 50K, Dick Collins 50M, and a hard 5K) and this tends to make my heart rhythms bad. The doctor wanted me to try sotalol next, but it requires a 3 day hospital stay when you start it- because some patients who start it have heart attacks or cardiac arrests, so they want to monitor you. I think that anything which has a heart attack as a side effect should only used as a last resort, so I am playing wait and see.  Last year, I had the same thing after a string of hard events, and it took several months  but I got over it.  I am hoping that happens again this year.

My wife is also disappointed because I get cranky when I cant run, so we both need some relief right now.
Boo-urns!
