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.

Nice morning run, getting colder out there.  Flared up my left hamstring again by accident during strength training yesterday.  I think I can manage it though.

Morning run, reinjured left hamstring going a bit too fast.  I felt really good until that happened.  You'd think I would have learned my lesson about these things by now.  I'll have to force myself to keep it slow for the next several weeks.
