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.

Slow jog again due to weather conditions. Lots on my mind lately.

Morning run of 6.3 miles. Rained overnight which put the humidity in the 90s this morning. I was drenched after this one.

Lunch run 5 miles on the mill. Progressively faster pace every 6 minutes. Still sweat like a beast.

Morning run 7.14 miles. Sure will be nice once I drop about 20lbs. Can feel the extra weight holding me down.

4 miles during lunch followed by a couple of my key exercises for a few sets.

Morning run 7.6 miles. Got tired really quick after only 5 miles. Feelng more than Lydiard's "pleasantly tired" at the end so no more running today.

Morning: 7.0 miles, feeling much better during and after this run

Lunch: 5.2 miles, tired but gained some stamina during the end

After some trial and error, I figured out that caffeine causes my heart to palpitate. I stopped drinking coffee this week and it has made a difference.
