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.

Completed 15 mi total mixing in 1 mi "faster than normal" intervals during last half.  Really down on myself lately.  I feel like a "ham & egger" at everything (husband, father, runner, career, etc.) and mostly below average.  Not sure of what I'm doing these days.  You know, just feel like I'm taking up space.

For whatever it's worth, you're blog's been a tremendous encouragement to me...never met you in person, but consider you a friend...hang in there!

Good run, sorry about the doledrums...call me to talk if you need.

Thanks for the encouragement Dave. Indeed, we are friends with similar backgrounds. Sorry for not keeping in touch more lately. Really fighting the urge to just withdraw, but the desire to check up on you keeps me coming back.

Thanks for checking up on me...I appreciate the encouragement as well. Maybe your due for a personal retreat of some sort.
