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.

Easy run of 12 mi (8:13 avg). Legs were stiff from yesterday's strength training. Honestly, I felt kind of pathetic because a run like this was easier a couple months ago, but this time of year miles are miles. Temp was around 30 and finally no wind. Now we need to get rid of all the ice.

Easy run of 5 mi on the treadmill after work. After an 11 hr day at the office that's all I could mentally muster.

Easy run of 16 mi before another storm rolls in (7:40 avg). I felt miserable the last 4 mi because it feels like I'm hosting another illness. The kids just got over streph throat. Man, I don't want that stuff.

Slow run on treadmill 5 mi (8:00+ avg). That's all I could squeeze in today. Doing daddy duty this weekend while the first lady is out of town.
