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.

2 mile morning run.  Thankfully I didn't go farther because I came back to Cooper barking and howling.  He has separation anxiety and I'm not sure how to fix it.  It shows up mostly when I look like I'm ready to workout or go for a run.  I thought about taking him on the run first to wear him out and then bring him back and go out again myself.  My concern is he'll get used to that set up for every run.  I can't keep having him bark every time I leave for a morning run.
