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.

Hand is healing up from surgery and I'm pretty sure I figured out how to rehab the back injury.  Miss my running.

Morning run, got through it ok.  My back is still stiff in different places and can't really figure out why.
