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.

This run was a real butt dragger, but felt good to get outside.

AM - 12 miles at easy pace.  Outside of right ankle started to bother me and then I realized it's probably due to the cambered surface of the bike path.  Felt better running on the middle or other side of the path.  I was a sweaty mess again at the end.  The humidity is awful this year.

PM - 5 miles before supper

16 miles on a bike path.  Another tuffy due to the temp and humidity.  I walked some parts while taking in fluids.

Kept everything easy.  Still was a bit knackered by the heat and humidity by the time I was done.  Note to self:  No peanuts before running.  I had a couple handfuls of peanuts before leaving the house and ended up burping them during the whole run.

I took advantage of the low humidity and went long today.  I felt strong throughout.  On the job front, I might be heading to Springfield, IL for an interview.

Incorporated some faster stuff throughout this run, but no idea on how fast or how much so I'm counting it all as easy.  Felt pretty good considering the longer run yesterday.  I was dragging a little during the last mile though.  Now off to a cabin to see relatives for the weekend.  Plan to run up there, but won't be reporting.
