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.

Completed 15 mi total mixing in 1 mi "faster than normal" intervals during last half.  Really down on myself lately.  I feel like a "ham & egger" at everything (husband, father, runner, career, etc.) and mostly below average.  Not sure of what I'm doing these days.  You know, just feel like I'm taking up space.

All easy.  Lots of thinking about making a titanic career change requiring more college time.

Ran an easy 6 mi this morning.  Too crazy of a day so I might not get any more miles.  Registered for classes and entertaining the girls all day long.
