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.

8 mi - A morning slog in the humidity. Gonna be a hot one today. Legs were a little tired from weights. The kids are on the summer downhill now.

8 + 5 mi

The usual trips.  Taking it even easier since right adductor and hamstring are tight and sore.  Hardly ever wear a watch anymore.  I think it's a good thing mentally speaking.

4 mi at lunch followed by a quick weights session.  Hope to get in another run after work.  Received bad news about my sister this morning.  I pray she gets better.

8 mi early before work. Temp was 59 and felt amazing!  Felt stronger this morning due to conditions and lower miles yesterday.

8 mi. before work again, but this time on the human hamster wheel.  We don't have cable anymore so I had to watch nothing but news off an antenna.  Yearning for some TdF coverage, but refuse to go back to cable or satellite.

6 mi. during lunch hour.  Finally some sun!

12 mi in the pouring rain so it should count extra!
