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.

7 miles before work in a muggy mess of weather (9:07/mi). Side note, I'm working on stopping my anti-d medication, Lexapro. I've been on and off the stuff since my mother's passing a very long time ago. Time feels right and it's not good to be on it long-term. Over time it makes me tired, gain weight, and loses effectiveness.

Strength training day.

7 miles before work on tired legs (9:42/mi). Legs were tired from strength training a couple days ago and my sense of exertion has increased since quitting my anti-d med. Will take some time getting use to the feelings again.

11.5 miles in the morning (8:49/mi). I haven't felt this good on a run in a very long time. Like years. Probably related to stopping Lex. Feeling a bit more determined and getting a "runner's high" again.
