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 over lunch hour, all easy pace. Breathing better and feeling good after the 40 minute mark during this run. Weather was outstanding.

Light weights and extra stuff before supper.

Ran over lunch hour again. Planned on making this a morning run, but was up in the middle of the night worrying about my youngest daughter. She has complained of stomach aches for a long time and now she's going in for a GI plumbing check. We thought it was gluten, but now I think it's an acid reflux issue. I'm praying for a simple issue anyway. Find out tomorrow. Too young to be dealing with this stuff. Going with more organic and non-GMO food in our house, damn the expense.

Summer temps today! Painful stomach bloating, not sure why, but had to walk a few times. Going to make some diet changes and see if that helps my belching frequency during my run. Ginger root might help as well.

Lunch time run. Still felt a burping sensation building at times, but less frequent and it didn't actually result in anything. The diet changes and ginger root might have helped. Wait and see.

The usual run around the neighborhood. Heart rate remained in the 100-120 range throughout. Feeling totally out of running shape. Most miles I've run in a week in 7 months though.
