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.

Thanks and Happy New Year to you! First time I actually enjoyed seeing another year pass.

Nice start to the week...any goals for Boston?

From Robert on Tue, Jan 06, 2009 at 08:17:04

Yes, my goal is to follow you! Something below 3 hrs is my stretch goal. Below 3:07 is my main goal. You're shooting for sub 3, right?

From rockness18 on Tue, Jan 06, 2009 at 09:04:44

Yeah, I'm thinking sub-3, but I'll need to experience a little more improvement between now and then. I'll firm up my goal in March.

Hoepfully I will get to meet you guys in person in April in Boston. Should be a fun race. You guys have some great goals and should be able to reach them with some good training.
