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.

Easy run with all systems go before, during, and after the run.  After last Friday I thought I would be set back another week with the knee issue.

Easy run with no injury issues.  Just going to run easy over the next 2-3 months while increasing the running time.  Then start incorporating some faster paces.

Felt sluggish the first couple of miles and the very last mile.  Feels great to run without pain again.  Took the kids to see the new Shrek movie last night.  Lots of laughs and popcorn!!

Easy pace and then picked it up just a little the last mile.  Cloudy and cooler day with hardly any wind.  Perfect running weather, but didn't see one person running on the trail.  Nothing but pedal pushers.  Am I the only person that likes to run bike trails?   I can tell that some of the cyclists don't appreciate my company on the trail though.  Just a feeling I get when I make eye contact with them.

Covered 10 miles in butt kicking humidity.  Completely whipped by the end.  Then came home to a rejection notice in the mail for a job.  I thought I did really well in the interview.  Just don't get it.

Simply ran and let my mind go adrift.  One of those days where I'd rather run all day.  Don't feel like doing much else.
