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 and life.

Easy run in sunny and warm weather. Did 4 x form drills (high knees & butt kicks) followed by approx. 50-75m "fast". Easing into a carb repletion phase today. Still dealing with some head congestion, but all systems are a go.

Looks like your well prepared and ready to go. I'm anxious to see how you do. Your weather sounds great. I think we're supposed to finally warm up this weekend. Good luck at Boston.
