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. Two supersets of skipping rope, heavy bag, and speed bag work. Basic weight training afterward.

Ran 12 after work. Warm out so stayed on the shaded bike path. Focused on staying relaxed. Closed my eyes from time to time and soaked in the summer sounds.

Easy 5 before work. Probably only run of the day. Legs are a bit throttled from weights on Sunday.

Temp was good, but struggled something fierce in the humidity. I was soaked and the legs were foamed at the end.

Ain't gots nothing today. Hate it when I get in these emotional depressed funks. Don't want to do anything but eat and sleep. Here's to better days soon.

10 mi. + 6 mi. (faster finish)

Feeling much better today after stuffing my face with pizza and ice cream last night. Most of the miles today were a glorified jog, but dropped the pace at the end of second run. Need to get the Cardiologist checkup done so I can put a race on the calendar.
