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.

Did a typical out and back on a bike trial.  Carried water and took down one gel at the half way turn.  I really enjoy getting out of the city and running in the prairie.  Nice and quiet with an occasional cyclist.  Easy 8-9 min pace throughout.  Kicking around the idea of doing an ultra.  Plenty of time to train these days.

Thanks Jeff. Hey, I noticed you called again about a week ago. Sorry I didn't call you back. I'm doing fine, but getting use to the slow process of job hunting is hard. I keep telling the Mrs. that I can always go to manual labor if things get really tight. Thankfully, that's a ways off. I've been sending out resumes in more of a reactive type job search (whatever pops up I then apply). I'll get more proactive (calling people) next week. Just have to be patient in this economy. Thanks for checking in.
