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.

Decided to start up running again after a total break of 1-2 months.  Haven't posted on this blog in nearly a year.  A lot has transpired in my personal life since that time.  Went out for 2.5 mi in 25 min and legs were like lead.  I'm starting over in my life and running as well.
