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.

AM: 7.1 miles outside early before work. Already in the 70s. 

LH: 4.0 miles on the treadmill because too hot out, 5 minutes ran faster. Followed by some weighted crunches.

How hot is it Rochester today? We could use some summertime warmth in Utah right now.

Weighted? It's all I can I can do just to get my regular situps in!

Heat index is now at 100. Humidity is a killer here in central IL. Yeah, I do crunches slow with 10-15 lbs on my upper chest. That way I only need to do a couple sets of 15 reps to "feel it".
