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 and life.

Morning run with Cooper.  Asked neighbor how Cooper is doing when I'm gone.  I guess not good.  Cries out the whole time.  So going to work on correcting that but for now will have him join me on morning runs.  

Strength training after work.

Morning run with Cooper by my side.  He's doing well and I think the anxiety is improving a little.

Morning run, going a little further this time.  Cooper hanging in there.  The much cooler weather helps him a lot.
