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.

Ran 18 mi easy, but had to stop at mile 13 for a snack as I was on empty (7:50 avg).  The bottoms of my feet and every muscle on the back side of my body are fatigued.  Temps were warmer, but still very windy outside.  This weather is the pits.
