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 and life.

Morning outdoor run.  Right knee tendonitis and adductor strain flared up from squats yesterday.  I keep forgetting to keep myself in check with the heavy or intense weight lifting.
