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.

Ran 15 miles before lunch.  All at an easy pace with the exception of the last mile, which I finished Van Aaken style (progressively faster).  I felt light headed and flushed of energy the first 4 miles.  Felt like the last 3 miles of a marathon, but without the soreness.  Thought I would bag the run, but then all that subsided and I finished feeling fine.  I think my blood sugar was dropping after eating breakfast beforehand about an hour or so.

Accepted the position in IL today and will being moving there within the next month.  Finally will be working again!!!  That is a good thing, right?  Yeah, work is good.  I think.

Easy 6 miles on the mill while the little one takes a nap.  Have I mentioned that I hate the mill during this time of year.  I can't stand it even when it's raining out or 100 degrees.  When the snow is flying, that's when I don't mind.

Still working out the details of the relocation.  Krista and I plan to make a trip down for house hunting.  My tenative start date is 10/1.

Easy progression run on the mill again while our youngest one takes a nap.  I really wanted to snuggle up and take a nap as well.
