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.

Lunch run of 6 miles. Windy! Central IL doesn't have many hills, but has plenty of wind. I'd rather have the hills because you can see the end. Legs were a little tired from weights yesterday.

Nice run over lunch. Definitely feeling the effects of the weightlifting I did on Sunday. Glad I kept it light that day. Observation to note on this run was my heart rate and breathing became in sync after about 55 minutes of running. Like a switch was flipped and I became more comfortable.

Ran on millski during lunch. 4 x 2 min fast with long rest intervals just to mix things up. Resting heart rate at 34 in the morning and 45 in the afternoon. Stays in the 100-120 range during run.

Six slow miles on the mill again. I didn't want to get all bundled up for outside. I promise not to complain about the heat this year. I'll reserve my complaints for the humidity.

Exciting news hit the wire a few days ago regarding the beer mile:

Lunch run followed by some weightlifting after. My back always complains when I start running more often. Need to do some core work.

No run, but did spread 5 cubic yards of mulch today. Back is tired. Hope to bump up mileage next week.
