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.

I'm back from our trip to Acapulco. The weather (90 and sunny) and scenery were simply awesome. What an experience.

Ran an easy 15 mi on the bike trail (7:40 avg). The weather is great here as well. I wore shorts and a t-shirt!

AM: Easy 4 mi

PM: Recovery run 6.2 mi around the lake. Windy and colder. Legs felt really flat. I'm bummed out because we're expecting 5-6 inches of the white fluffy stuff this Friday night, which means more than likely no long run outside on Saturday.

Sloppy 9 mi run outside at an easy pace (8:00 avg). I had to keep making detours because of water over the trail. I had to run on railroad tracks a couple of times. That can be a bit tricky.

Decided to go long today since a snow storm is rolling through tonight. Made this a depletion run so I didn't have anything to eat before or during. Just took it real easy because the body didn't want to go and I'm lacking sleep as well (8:06 avg). One problem I'm having is keeping my forearms and hands warm in cold temps (below 30). Anything over 15 mi and I can feel them become dangerously cold. I wanted to go 20 mi, but I cut it short because my arms were becoming painfully numb. As always, advice is welcome.

We received nearly 8 inches of snow last night so I ran on the mill. Ran 1 hour easy then did 2 mi at PMP finishing the last 2 mi easy again (7:41 avg @ 1-2.5% grade). Overall, a solid week considering I ran only 5 days.
