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. |

| 6 miles before work, nice and cool, but in the dark the whole way. Story of my life.
6 miles during lunch, not really feeling it today so kept it all at a jog.

| 8 miles - Early before work. Felt really good from the start and went a little faster at the end. I've found it usually takes 2 days to recover from weights and get back to a better running mojo.
6.5 miles - During lunch. Started out slow, "felt it" after 26 minutes so then proceeded with a couple short steep hill climbs and short fartleks (6 reps).

| 6 miles - During lunch. Felt flat so went real easy the whole way. Days like this have me wondering how I'll ever finish another marathon.
Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, says the three-day work week will happen and that we'd all be better off if we slowed down. Agree, but not sure if I want to work until 75 to make that happen.

| 6 miles - In NYC for business so slipped in a morning run around Central Park before meetings. Always had this on the "to do" list. Really cool to see so many runners around. Makes you want to run faster.

| 7 miles - Over lunch hour. On the treadmill to give my hamstrings time to recover from squats. Gradually faster paces, up to 8.7 mph, after 40 minutes of easy pace when my heart felt ready.

6 miles - Temps in the 70s, can't believe it. I felt flat due to weights yesterday and anxiety being high. Our oldest daughter is ill and waiting to hear if hospital admission is required.

| 6 miles - Colder, breezy run outside before work.
My running consistency over the past several months has mirrored my emotional state, which has been in the pits. I was hoping to return to more consistent mileage, but over the past couple of months my "black dog" (clinical depression) has become a frequent visitor and gradually built a more permanent place in my life once again. Depression chips away at you slowly and no matter how much I tried I could not shake it off. This has made motivation in most things a struggle. Now seeing my oldest daughter battling the same issue again put me on a path to destruction that required medical intervention and action. The both of us started a recovery plan this week and hope to rebuild what has been lost. For now we just take it day by day.
