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.

Couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning and only had time for one quick run during lunch.  Tis life.

Warm and humid this morning.  Took a turn on the bike trail and only got about 50 yards before turning around due to spider web overload.  Too early to fight spider webs.

Really slow going this morning even after a solid nights rest. Second run during lunch included some faster intervals down into the 7s.

Gradually making some progress, but I still suffer in high humidity. After doing a full review of my daily nutrition and hydration, I plan to make a switch to HCLF, but not full Vegan. My bodyweight is still not what it needs to be for stamina/endurance purposes so trying something different.
