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.

Ran these much slower at around 9:00 pace.  I had a lot of thoughts swirling around in my head to the point of making the run a little difficult.  Plus I had something to eat shortly before and then was light headed most of the time during the run.  Always happens and I'm sure it's due to my glucose and insulin levels moving around.

Good run today. Try drinking apple juice about 1/2 hour before you run. That really helps me out. I usually don't drink very much, but is helps.

Thanks for the tip Barry. I'll give that a try.
