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.

Headed outside for an easy 15 mi. (8:30 pace).  It was chilly with some light snow early on.  Relentless head wind on the way back tired me out mentally.  I looked over the Boston brochure last night and that got me fired up.  Almost there.

Nice run, looking good. I haven't got my Boston info yet (that or it is sitting in our mailbox since I don't know if we checked it yesterday). My friend here in IF got hers as well and is getting excited.

Just over 2 weeks!

Yes, getting excited. I more formally start my taper next week.
