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.

Nice and easy endurance run. Morton's neuroma in left foot was only pain issue. Starts after 1 hour and flares up off and on thereafter. At one point it was completely gone and then came back near the end. Average pace 8:27.

Nice run. I had to deal with a neuroma for several years. Mine began about 6 months after stepping on a sharp garden tool that went most of the way through my foot next to the 3rd metatarsal right near the joint. After it healed, a cyst formed on the nerve. When it would get bad I couldn't run at all. I took out the insole of my shoe on the affected foot and put several layers of duct tape on the bottom of the front 3rd of the insole just leaving a small oval untaped area right where the sore spot was. This relieved just enough pressure during foot strike that it made a world of difference. I don't know if this would help yours or not but for me it was the difference of not being able to run very many miles at all or having it basically being a non issue. After about 3+ years of doing this to all of my running shoes I was able to stop. I feel it a little sometimes still but not enough to worry about.
I see you have an October Marathon listed. Is that still on?

If you are still coming into town for the marathon it would be great to meet up. Maybe at the expo or something. Here is my number if you let me know what time you are going to packet pickup maybe we can catch up. Cell: 317-690-1672.
Good luck at the race.
