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.

Brisk run of 8 mi. (7:33 avg). Temps in the 70s and sunny. This is November? Really lacked motivation before this run, but now I'm glad I went out.

PM: Steady brisk run of 5.2 mi (7:32 avg) on a windy day. Temps around 65. My work has me in a funk of sorts. I'm looking forward to this year coming to an end, but nothing really changes.

Easy run of 8 mi over a hilly course. A great morning for a run. I ran in shorts and a tanker since temps were in the upper 60s and a slight breeze was coming out of the southeast. I had to stop for water a couple times since it was so dry. I can't believe it's November. With conditions like this I nearly forgot I was on a treadmill.

Easy run 12 mi with one mile at MP. Legs were not very responsive today for some reason. I felt dehydrated and really tired at the end. I guess you just can't take the simple things for granted. Might run a short one on the treadmill later and see how it feels.
