Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties.  Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation.  It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again.  Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness and life.

Lunch run 7 mi., very hot out.  Decided to start out much faster than usual and maintain more up tempo pace.  Had to walk twice because I was getting over heated.  Injury status:  Terrific news and perhaps a break through.  Only felt the adductor during the third mile and even then I barely felt it.  For some reason, the faster pace doesn't bother it, I thought it was just a fluke when it felt better during my recent 10K.  I think staying longer in the stance phase might be a culprit.  Continue to stretch and do PT exercises. 

After work run 3 mi. on TM.  Forced a quicker pace.  Can tell my right leg is still a little clunky, but doesn't bother as much.
