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 run 8 mi (7:47 avg).  The weather was absolutely perfect with 60s and sun.  Surprisingly the injury felt fine and I was good spirits (work has been difficult). 

On a side note I ran into a friend while walking to my car last night and she asked "Are you still running a lot?".  I replied with a "Uhhh, yeah I guess so".  I never know what to say to that question since there are many people out there running a lot more.

Glad you had a good run, it is a good way to get rid of work stress (you have had too much in the last week or so!).

Don't kid yourself, you are running "a lot"! Anybody who is getting ready for Boston is probably doing that.

Have a good weekend in the beautiful weather (looks like the organizers for Chicgao made the right call!).

Good to see you back at it and feeling better. Hopefully, those nagging aches and pains will be worked out soon.
