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.

No run, instead a workout consisting of jumping rope, boxing, and weight training.

First run of the day came right before lunch.  Very hot and humid conditions forced me to run slow.  Hope to run on the treadmill later.

No run after work as planned.  Spent the evening dismantling the treadmill for a new belt and deck.  Still not done since it needed a good cleaning as well.  Yuck!

The usual combo.  Weight training and plyos are still taking the small bit of zip I have out of my legs.

A lunch hour run on the treadmill followed by weight training.  When will the rain end!

Sat on my duff at work all day and then finished up the treadmill fix at home.

Easy paced run throughout with some walking breaks. Losing too much bodyweight through sweat, not sure why. This time lost 4%, which is too much given the dew point this morning.
