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.

Another two-a-day, but the 5.2 right after work was done progressively fast down to around 10K pace.

Completed 7.5 early before work and then 5.5 before eating lunch at my desk.  Feeling some tiredness and my middle back is stiff.  Had to be expected with the aggressive jump in miles this week compared to the last several..

Ran 8 this morning in slightly warmer weather.  Could tell rain was moving in by the humidity in the air. 

Ran 4 right after work on the TM while it rained out.  Didn't feel like running any further.

Out early on a cold morning.  Felt crummy around the 1.5 hr mark and then better from there, but then felt crummy the last mile as I had a strong head wind.  Most miles this week since last September.  Now to carefully keep it up.
