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.

Due to my injury I just did a run and walk combo for 60 min on the treadmill this morning before church.  During the walking portions I cranked the incline to 15 and walked 4.1 mph.  Good workout.

Same thing as yesterday, but had to walk more often.  Once again put the incline at 15 and walked 4.2 mph (more like hiking).  Then did some strength training.

Knee was tender today so I didn't venture far.  Missed a really good day for a longer run.  A little breeze and cloud cover.

Mostly pain free run until half way point, but pain subsided.  Kind of strange.

Right knee still aches off and on so I completed the miles run & walk style.  Then back home to hang out with the kids and go to the park.  Great weather day.
