Entered into the unknown this weekend - mixing altitude, endurance running, and POTS. While my POTS body is not new to running (running actually got me to where I am, but that’s another post); running long distance at altitude with POTS is not something I’ve yet tested. I turned off the heart rate display on my watch, and ran by feel. The views were incredible and I felt fortunate to get to even be there. Breathing felt hard. The low temps and on & off rain made this challenge extra. When I crossed the finish line with the same time I had in Edmonton in August - I was pretty thrilled. Our bodies are amazing and resilient and made to move. Feeling tired, sore, and oh so grateful 💕
