Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras. Short-Term Running Goals: Consistent aerobic and strength training. Long-Term Running Goals: Participate in 5k and 10k races. 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. |

Getting back at it after an illness again. Running all these really easy with some walk breaks mixed in when it felt right. My consistency has been lacking for too long.

Morning and lunch hour combo again. All really easy with some walking breaks. High humidity in the air and thunderstorms all around.

All done at a very easy pace (8:55 AP). Perhaps the "Slow Running Blog" would better suit me.

Easy run before work with a couple walk breaks. Not feeling "it" this morning, but not surprised since I'm increasing volume aggressively. Great weather.

Usual combo, but shorter distance breaking into two-a-days more often. Followed second run with a couple sets of leg raises and hypers.

Easy paced morning and lunch runs scheduled for today. Forgot socks for the lunch run so pushed down my dress socks and rock 'n' rolled. Real nice. Did a couple heavy sets of excercises afterward.

Morning and lunch again. Why does the 20-30 minute part of a run just suck? Anyway, down about 4 lbs since starting to run more about 3 weeks ago.

Made the mistake of eating lunch and then going for a run. Felt miserable during first hour. Frequent belching was screwing up my breathing as well.

| 12 mi One run after work (9 min average pace). Found a possible fix to the frequent belching during running I've had for several years, but more experimenting needed. | | Add Comment |

The usual morning and lunch combo. All easy paces, starting out super slow and building speed from there.

All slow and easy. Not ready for any faster paces. Losing bodyweight comes first.
