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.

7 miles jog and walk combo.  Think the injury is the sartorius and not the adductor.

Slept like garbage last night after having argument with daughter over her late night phone usage.  Phone curfew now in place so more arguing expected over a stupid phone.
