Not ususual: During your run, your adrenal glands were producing a large amount of Epinephrine (aka adrenalin) which doesn't disappear the moment you stop running. The heart is highly stimulated (normal). Extra systoles in cool down are quite common and not, by themselves, a cause for alarm or indicative of disease. The fact that you are able to go for a run, immediately puts you in a more favorable group!

Skipped beats : You are likely having premature ventricular contractions. If you haven't had a stress test or a holter monitor then you should. Multiple studies have linked extreme exercise with heart chamber dilation and increased arrhythmias. That said pvcs are very common and typically benign.

I jog 30km a week. 6 months after running, I started experiencing PVCs. Only felt a few in my life prior. Two cardiologists have cleared me OK with monitoring and lab work. Did I harm or scar my heart from running too much too quickly from the start?
