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

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.

Easy 7 mi first thing in the morning and then 6 mi before dinner.  Foot is feeling better and only tender afterward.

Glad the foot's starting to feel better. Any racing scheduled for the near future?

Thanks Dave. I've kind of checked out of the blog lately and just enter the bare minimum. Not really much planned for racing as I'm trying to conserve cash plus legs keep getting nagging little injuries. I am running a 50 mile foot race the end of July and then the Twin Cities Marathon in Oct.

50 miles...hence the 80-90 mile weeks. I'll continue to pray for you both physically and in spirit. Keep making the most of every day God's blessed you with...hope all is well.
