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. |

| 7.1 mi during lunch, temp was 80! No morning run as legs needed a break. Man, I've got a long way to go. Increasing my salt and water intake in hopes to lessen my vasovagal symptoms while running. My bradycardia doesn't help matters either. Seems to take forever before my heart and pressure are good to go while running. No fun feeling flush, weak, tired, and overall out of sorts for 30 to 40 minutes at the beginning of each run. I've read that more salt and water can provide promising results. | | Comments(2) |

| 7.1 mi morning before work + 6.1 mi during lunch, all done easy. Feeling just a bit stronger today. Energy drain and fatigue feeling greatest between minutes 10 to 25. After that I'm good to go. Spoke with the doc about this today. Sounds like these feelings are common as body adjusts its oxygen levels. He emphasized electrolyte levels being maintained, which agrees with my conclusion. Heading back for full physical and blood tests (including thyroid and T levels). | | Comments(1) |

| Couple of runs on the t-mill for 12 mi total. All done real easy. I see some resemblance of my former lighter self, but still have a long ways to go weight wise. | | Comments(1) |

| 15 mi easy before lunch, didn't feel great, the last 30 minutes was uncomfortable. Depletion run with no food. Feet were complaining the most as I stood around way too much last night. Got home and proceeded to mow the lawn, so had a good walk afterward. | | Add Comment |

| 11 mi at midday all easy, took about 45 minutes until I felt my systems were in balance since hamstrings and glutes were tired from squats yesterday. | | Add Comment |

| 7 mi early before work + 6 mi during lunch hour My running has been a slow jog for the most part this week. Legs are taking a long time to recover from squats I did over the weekend. I'm smarter these days as I don't push hard when my legs are still healing, but need to back down the intensity in weightlifting as I build on running. Also have to be careful over the next couple of weeks as this is when injury is more likely to pop up (weeks 3 to 5 of a build up). | | Add Comment |

| 9 + 6 mi, all outside and easy Good weather, cooler and dry. Body did a complete 180 compared to early in the week. Making progress and feeling good. Now wish the bodyweight would come down more quickly! So easy to pack it on..... | | Comments(2) |

14.5 mi, outside, raining last 30 minutes
Slow weather front moving through so it will be raining all day probably. Try to hop on the dreadmill later this afternoon. I've found the more I run, the more I complain about cold or rainy weather. Interesting correlation. | | Comments(2) |
