Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras. Short-Term Running Goals: Consistent aerobic and strength training. Long-Term Running Goals: Participate in 5k and 10k races. 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. |

| Rest day. Had a follow-up appt. with Cardiologist today. Resting heart rate has continued to fall over the past year even though my activity level has declined. Discussed all of my other symptoms (constant fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, etc.). I was hoping it would get better but seems to be getting worse (not sure what normal feels like anymore). I suppose I could just take the next 10 years off from vigorous exercise and see what happens, but as we age our heart rates continue to fall. So decided it was time I go to an EP specialist to discuss implanting a pacemaker. Owe it to the family to not mess around with it anymore.

| 6.6 mile run & walk during lunch. I started out feeling really good, but was miserably out of breath after 3.5 miles. Might be several factors like high humidity and bodyweight. Not use to heart beating faster or it's not beating fast enough given conditions. HR avg. 112.

3 miles on the TM during lunch. Felt fatigued the whole time due to HR staying around 100 bpm.
