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.

Stationary bike for 12 miles.  Heart rate was bouncing around sporatically.  Pacemaker will need some adjusting.

Run & walk for 5 miles during lunch.  More running this time around.  HR pacing stills feels off during exercise.  Hope they can fix it when I go back in a couple months.

5 miles outside in perfect weather.  Stopped to walk once.

30 minutes of swimming after work.  Didn't go very far and was wiped out at the end. Felt really good. Counting it as 1.5 easy miles.

Took an easy 5 mile bike ride with our youngest before dinner. Another 1.5 easy miles equivalent.

Early 6.3 mi run before work (9:30 pace).  Steamy, foggy, and buggy!

Swam for 30 minutes during lunch. A lot of breaks to catch my breath.  What a workout. Counting it as 1.9 mi easy miles equivalent.  Don't ask how I came up with that number.

6 slow miles before work.  Had a close call with a large spider and its web.  Ducked just in time.

6.6 mile run & walk during lunch.  I started out feeling really good, but was miserably out of breath after 3.5 miles.  Might be several factors like high humidity and bodyweight.  Not use to heart beating faster or it's not beating fast enough given conditions.  HR avg. 112.
