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.

A real struggle today.  Just wasn't into running and the heat/humidity made it really tough at the end.  I just wanted to sit down in the shade after this one.

A hilly 15 miles.  Felt a little bit better, but was sweaty mess at the end because of the humidity.  Felt good and tired at the end.

Had to stop and walk a few times because of stomach cramps.  My feet were complaining about the string of 15 miles this week.

Better day temp and humidity wise.  Ran really easy and enjoyed the trip more than the past couple of days.   Included a fast quarter down to 10K pace during the last 3 miles.  Focused on staying relaxed and effortless during the whole run.

Absolute perfect day for running!  Suppose to rain tomorrow so I did 20 today.  Mixed in a faster quarter during each of the last 4 miles.  I felt pretty good overall and probably could have stretched it out a bit more, but had to get back home.  4 more weeks until the marathon.

An easy snowman on the TM.  A little faster at the end.
