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.

AM: Treadmill run with 10 min @ MP.  This may sound strange, but MP felt easier than the 40 min of slow running prior.

PM: Treadmill run because I didn't want to run in the cold.  Ran real easy 30 min + 3 x 0.5 mi gradual accelerations down to 5K w/ 0.5 mi RI (1.5% incline) + Easy 10 min.  I was suppose to take it easy this week again, but things felt right to do something a little faster.  I felt very relaxed.  We'll see how it feels Thursday.
