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.

Easy run 8 mi oustide (7:56 avg), legs felt flat due to treadmill running over the past several weeks. I felt good on the hills, but I could tell I've lost some economy/efficiency while running on the flats.

Easy 20 mi run by myself over a course with several long hills. I ran an out and back so I hit the same long steep hills through out the entire run. Legs were fatigued and felt sluggish on the hills at the end. I could also tell my feet aren't use to the sidewalks, but my shoes are getting up there in miles.
