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.

A run on the trail while waiting on daughter at vball practice. Slow the first half and faster the second half.

I drank some homemade sports drink right before the second run and ended up with an insulin bonk at the 1.5 mi mark. As usual it lasts for about 1.5 mi so I'm good at the 3 mi point. Feels terrible. When will I learn to stay away from sugar before a run.

Busy day so squeaked in one run after work while daughter was at vball practice. Caught in a rain storm so it was a wet trip.

A total sweat fest on a hotel tm. No AC in the room.  Felt like I was melting.
