Consecutive runs of sums of two squares

We study the distribution of consecutive sums of two squares in arithmetic progressions. If $\{E_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is the sequence of sums of two squares in increasing order, we show that for any modulus $q$ and any congruence classes $a_1,a_2,a_3 \mod q$ which are admissible in the sense that there are solutions to $x^2 + y^2 \equiv a_i \mod q$, there exist infinitely many $n$ with $E_{n+i-1} \equiv a_i \mod q$, for $i = 1,2,3$. We also show that for any $r_1, r_2 \ge 1$, there exist infinitely many $n$ with $E_{n+i-1} \equiv a_1 \mod q$ for $1 \le i \le r_1$ and $E_{n+ i - 1} \equiv a_2 \mod q$ for $r_1 + 1 \le i \le r_1 + r_2$.
