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.

Had to get to work early.  Don't feel like I've lost bodyweight, but I'm much stronger versus previous years.

Run times are really dropping.  All these done at 7:50 average.

Felt good all around.  Just wish I had more time to put in a few really long runs.  Oh well, no doubt I'm feeling much improved over last year as far as speed and strength are concerned.
