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.

Easy 10.5 mi around the lake.  Ran the last 0.5 faster.  I'm going to try to string together 2 decent weeks before tapering 2 weeks before TCM on Oct. 4.  I haven't been all that consistent lately, but I really want to crack 3 hours at the race.

Missed another day yesterday.  That's ok since the top of my right foot was bothering me again.  Either tied my shoe too tight or when I run I can tell my right foot slides into position from the outside instead of straight forward.  I think that is putting some strange pressure on my fore foot structure (more angular).  Looks like this week will shape up to be "half-way" decent instead of decent as I planned.  For some reason it's become hard to stay focused on running.  Oh well, if I can just run 8-12 miles a day for the rest of my life I would be extremely happy.

Miserable run so I cut it a little short.  Legs were barking the whole way.  Feels like I'm coming down with something.
