Consistent aerobic and strength training.

Christie Clinic Half Marathon 4/27/24

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.

6:00am outside.  Disappointed in this run.  Completed one big loop starting from health club and incorporating bike trails along the way.  This way I didn't run out of water.  Started out at 9:00+ min paces because right leg was more botheresome than usual.  After first 4 miles, pace was a bit faster, but ran most miles around 8:30-9:00.  Ran out of gas at the end and was hot and dehydrated.  Averaged 9:03 for entire run.  Really lacked energy today.

Good job getting this one done...a building block for more in the future.

Hope all is well!
