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.

hang in there...you've increased the mileage so fatigue here and there is understandable. Make sure to get good sleep. You've had a solid month of running.

Thanks. This weather is pinning me down. I really miss the bike trails.

By the way, progression runs in my experience give the most bang for the buck if you don't overdo it. Ok tp be a little tired as long as you recover in a day or two.
