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.

Morning run on the treadmill.  Thought about bailing after 4 mi because of boredom, but stuck it out this time.  Training the mind.

Morning run outside, yay!  Watch died midway so came in short of the 10 miles that were planned.  Some stretching afterward which felt really good.  Another day off tomorrow and then back at it.
