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.

Wow, huge blizzard here caused my TM to stop when the lights flickered.  Cut this one short and hunkered down!

Did this run after shoveling about a foot of snow off of the driveway.  Felt terrible with tired back and left hammy.

The weather is for the birds and I'm still a bit tired.  Crabby too!

Feeling about 80%.  Antibotics are playing havoc on my endurance.

Feeling much better.  Had the day off so I ran these before lunch on the mill.

Broke it up into 2 runs, one outside and one inside.  The treadmill pace is spot on with outside pace.

First run in Costa Rica and what a beauty.  Loved the sun and heat.  Stopped to watch a triathlon taking place at our resort during the run.  They were stretched thin on volunteers so I helped guide runners on a turn once and while. Inspiring to watch the leaders screaming towards the finish.  Some serious competition participated.

Back home in IL again.  I miss the warmth already.  Good to be back and on a firm schedule though.

Some faster paces mixed in, but I don't recall how much.  It was cold and raining out so I did these on the TM.
