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.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm just a stubborn hack when it comes to running. I'm what Daniels describes as a runner with a lot of desire and heart, but short on natural ability. I regret I didn't pick up running earlier in my life. The plan is to max out what God given ability I have and hopefully be a late bloomer.
