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.

8.5 + 6.5 Morning run felt pretty good even though it was cold and dark out. Did an easy progression run for the second run with the last 0.5 at MP and a bit faster. In a bit of a funk mentally, simple felt like a zero. One of those "why am I here?" type days.

8.5 + 6.5 mi

Both of these were easy progression runs with the second one faster. Starting to get a little bit warmer out. Goal is to hit 100 miles again, but at a slightly faster avg. pace for the week.

All easy running, picking it up a little during the back half. I wanted to run a little faster, but my gut was telling me not to push it. Not sure if this high frequency type running will be effective, but it's the only way to get in the miles while working full-time and spending time with family.

First run went really well. Had a sugar bonk on the second run thanks to a small piece of cake an hour before. Lasted about 2 miles, which is typical. Last run was slow and easy most of the way, but faster on the back half. Need to stretch.

Basically the same as yesterday, but a little slower.

Caring for the kids this weekend so couldn't make this a long endurance run. Good thing because my legs were dull and felt very heavy today. Probably wouldn't have made it much further. Barely made it another 100 this week. Now time to relax.

Food note, no more pizza the night before. At least not from around here. Nice potty dash up a hill though!
