I had to open my mouth

Today was my followup with the doctor and I should have kept my mouth shut. He asked how I was feeling and I told him much better and I should have stopped there but went on to tell him I got on the treadmill for an hour yesterday and that my chest felt a little tight and heavy. To me that was just an after effect of 1) recovering from the pneumonia and 2) not having done any training for 10 days. To him it was a series of key words; chest, tightness, exertion. He told me he wanted me to undergo a stress test considering Miami was coming up. I looked at him kind of confused thinking "Really? A triathlete that's been training the way I have?". It was precautionary and he had no doubts that the test would show nothing but thought I should go through with it anyway. So I got scheduled and I'm going to have it tomorrow morning. I decided to do my own stress test however and when I got done at the doctors I went home, changed into my running gear, leashed up Kona and headed out to "stress" myself. I ran 8 km at a 4:54 pace which considering I hadn't run in a while was pretty quick and not having felt any discomfort other than the normal feeling of running at that pace I declared myself fit. When I talked to Ryan and Justin later and told them about it they promptly said I was "reckless" and laughed. Newsflash ..... always have been, always will be. But seriously, I knew there was nothing wrong and so did the doctor. Later Justin came by and picked me up to head to Stouffville for a long overdue swim. It had been 2 1/2 weeks since I'd swam and with just over a week to go I needed to get back into the pool. We did 1500 m and it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be and it was good to have Justin there pushing me. He's a stronger swimmer than me and I swam hard to keep ahead of him. I knew he'd be catching and lapping me eventually but I wanted to make him work for it. I was happy with my time and another 2 or 3 times in the pool before heading south should be enough.
