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.

Not a bad week given the really hot and humid weather and how I felt.  Longest run was 12.5 miles.  I was feeling ok early in the week then after a hot run on Wed. I could tell my body was fighting something. Whether it was an allergy or virus, I was lacking energy and just not feeling right.  I bagged the run on Thursday.  Finally cooled off for today's run.  Signed up for a 50 mile race for late in Aug.  Really looking forward to some wood trails up north.

50 miles...you're an animal!

Actually, it's only 2 laps of 25 miles. That's what I'm telling myself anyway. :)

I agree with Dave. Running 50 miles is hard for me to comprehend. Nice job on the training in the hot weather.

Hope all is well!
