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.

Easy progression run 10 mi with 5 x pickups (7:45 avg).  Not much else to report.  I'm slipping a bit in terms of motivation and my body is wanting a break now that the snow is flying and temps have dropped.  Seems like December has always been my hardest month, motivation wise, until I get that "fresh start" feeling going again in January.  Heading off to deer hunting this weekend.

Thanks. I'll just keep looking at your blog for some extra motivation when I need it. And do I need it this time of year.
