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.

AM: 6.4 miles on a nice cool morning

PM: 3.6 miles after work. Sugar bonked big time right after the first mile. Felt terribly light headed for about a mile and then much better. Regardless of what I eat or don't eat, I always seem to have a blood sugar issue when I run after work. Followed by a light core and leg workout.

AM: 6.5 miles. Started out slow as usual, kind of a struggle until 40 min, felt fantastic last mile.

Lunch: 5.8 miles. Lacked energy the whole way and didn't get that typical burst after 40 min either.

Really starting to dislike miles 2-4 on nearly every run. Body doesn't feel good and feels like forever.

10.3 miles. The usual feelings for 45 minutes or so and then everything was better breathing wise. Sure wish I knew what was going on with my heart and blood pressure the first 4 miles of a run. Doctor said I have really high vagal tone, but I thought that was a good thing and I don't think that's the whole problem. Perhaps blood pressure involvement as I'm borderline low in that category.

Average: 9:27/mile, 96 bpm

Max: 7:09/mile, 121 bpm
