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. |

| AM - 6.3 miles before work, same route, colder out. Afterward I dislocated my thumb while trying to push my running tights over my ankle. Quickly popped out then back in and hurt like a mother. Thought I broke it at first with the crunch sound and all.

| AM - 6.4 miles easy before work, colder out so in full gear. Rather be hot than cold. Right adductor acts up sporatically, not sure what to do with it other than continue easy/slow running. Turning the knee/leg inward and back or the running motion is the only time it bothers.
PM - Slow 2.8 miles during lunch on the treadmill. Core work after.

| AM - 11 miles easy. Heart rate took longer than usual to pick up. Once the pacemaker kicked in I felt fine. I then slowed down my running pace, but my heart rate drifted down too much which wipes me out. I had to walk and then force the pace once I started up again to bring the rate back up enough. Some days the pacemaker just doesn't operate right without me forcing it to work. Checkup with the Cardiologist next Monday.
