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.

Morning run, went to cover band concert for Rush last night, so was thinking about my old friend I lost this year while Rush tunes danced in my head.  I'll admit it, I cried.
