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.

Morning run, warm out.  A lot on my mind after visiting one of the kids in college yesterday.  She's having a miserable experience, mostly due to the university itself and not Covid.  So she's changing things up after the semester.  We have too many universities and too little real world learning.

Easy run with 8 x 100m strides.  Much cooler and cloudy this morning, but still in shorts and t-shirt.

Strength training before supper.

Suppose to be easy run but it wasn't after yesterday's strength session.  Still tinkering with strength all these years.  Hard to incorporate into a running program.
