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.

Totally shocked how good this run felt.  I made some nutrition changes recently, which could have helped, but weather was much better as well.

Morning run 8 mi along the usual route.  Really wish I lived in a spot with more route variability.  

Cross training workout on the bike (2 mi equiv) with strength training afterward.
