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.

Life is getting back to normal.  Family moved to Springfield last week and I can build a regular running schedule again.  I plan to run only in the morning over most of the winter.  Did this session on the TM with hills since I don't know the area and it was pitch black.

On the TM again, but mostly flat and slighly faster.  Feeling good already.  Plan to run a spring marathon in IL next year.

TM with hills program.  I think I'll alternate with a hills program every other day with a pick up in duration and then slope over the next couple of months.  Then in Jan. or Feb start running longer everyday.  Just need to drop the bodyweight and I'll have a really good result in April.  My motivation is building, feels like a really good distance runner is trapped inside.

Ran all of these about MP + 30-45 sec. outside before darkness.  Wonderful run.
