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.

Easy progression run 10 mi with 5 x pickups (7:45 avg).  Not much else to report.  I'm slipping a bit in terms of motivation and my body is wanting a break now that the snow is flying and temps have dropped.  Seems like December has always been my hardest month, motivation wise, until I get that "fresh start" feeling going again in January.  Heading off to deer hunting this weekend.
