Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your question is regarding skipped heart beat for your case
It's good that you are doing exercise and active at such a old age
Heart rate and pulse between 60 to 100 can be considered normal
Now you are mentioning skipped beat, but you can't predict skipped heart beat as I feel..
So better to consult nearby doctor for blood pressure measurement and check your pulse and Auscultation for heart beats
If than needed further specific work up will be planned with EKG investigation
Take care
Hope your concern solved
