Running Accomplishments:

Marathon PR - 3:05 (3:06 at Boston)

Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Consistent aerobic and strength training.

Christie Clinic Half Marathon 4/27/24

Long-Term Running Goals:

Sub 1:35 in half marathon.  Then might consider taking a shot at full marathon again.

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.

AM: Easy flat run on the TM + light lower body strength training.  The cold and rain/snow are moving through my area again.  Yesterday was sunny and upper 50's!  Oh well, almost there.  My adductor wasn't an issue during the run, but was a little dull after icing and walking into work.

PM: More of the same.  Since I'm running ELP, I thought it was only fitting that I jam to ELP.

Nice training this week. Hope the abductor starts feeling better.

Thanks. I'm just going to plod along and not revisit decidated speed unless things feel right. I'm trying to listen to my body more and going to error on the side of caution as I don't want any wheels falling off. You've got some great training going.

Very wise to listen to your body. It's way too close to race day to get hurt now. Looks like you've broken out a fresh pair of shoes. Maybe they will help.

Yes, and I thought I'd be able to run close to you at Boston, but I think I'll be picking up your GU wrappers instead. You're training great as well.
