running has been difficult for me since march of this year.  after taking a month off after running my january marathon, things has not been the same.  i've been having some problem with my heart rate and breathing.  running has been a struggle.  i taking my running into stride.

had a echo stress test last week and met with my DR afterwards.  good news - everything is O.K.  no issue with my heart.  i should be elated but i am not.  if there is nothing with my heart, why do i feel tired all the time....even if i only do 3 miles.  during marathons, i don't get such feeling until miles 18.  is it only in my head??  i hope it is.  if it's just a mind set issue, that can be resolved.  by if it's an unknown reason, it's scary.  last thing i need is having an issue while i run in the streets.

only time can only tell.  for now, as mentioned, i am taking this into stride....one foot in front of the other. 

i'm an adult now...

i do not have a full-on facial hair.  i'm happy if i can create even a shadow....but even if i did, it's not a pretty sight.  it's very uneven and certain part does not grow at all.  because of that, i can't remember the last time i bought a razor that is not considered a travel kit razor (yes, i buy those kinds).

found these bad boys in target a few days ago and got curious.  not sure why i'm attracted to orange but i just gotta have it.  
 

looks pretty decent inside and the rubber grip feels comfortable.  let see how long will this last...

 

oh yeah, need to reach out to harry's.  the coupon inside for a 50% off for the next purchase of razor expired on june 2018.  not right...
