Again, I started with a song and a half on the rowing machine, and 40 minutes on the stationary bicycle. I went straight from the bicycle to the running machine, and the run was smoother even though it was longer. When I stretched in between the stationary bicycle, and the treadmill I cooled myself down too much.

I ate more fruit today, and I didn't smell that ammonia smell. I guess I don't have too much protein today :)

A song's worth of time on the rowing machine, and then 40 minutes on the stationary bicycle. I wrote down my time for the mile so I can have something to work against.

My sweat smelled like ammonia. Consistently, sources on the Internet reference a high protein diet may result in ammonia smelling sweat. Something to think about. Looking forward to my next run.

Brian Roberts, Baltimore Orioles 2nd baseman was born with atrial septal defect, and had open heart surgery when he was five;
Lauren Cheney, US Women's Soccer team player was born with atrial septal defect, and had open heart surgery when she was 3;
Shaun White, Gold Medal Olympian in snowboarding was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, which is what I had, and he had 2 open heart surgeries when he was 1. I had one open heart surgery at 5 years old, and one at 6 years old. The list of people to inspire me just keeps getting longer and longer.
I remember there is a woman who completed a triathlon about 8 months (?) after open heart surgery. Awesome!

Signing up for a marathon briefly inspired me, but ultimately, I have a ways to go
