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.

Ain't gots nothing today. Hate it when I get in these emotional depressed funks. Don't want to do anything but eat and sleep. Here's to better days soon.

Sorry to hear that Bob. Maybe it's time to take a change of scenery and maybe do something different to shake things up. Had some days lately like that myself. Just make sure to not give up, keep running and keep pushing forward.

Thanks Steve. I've been on and off anti-depressants for years since my parents death. Just was never able to get myself together after their passing. Now been off them for over a year. Anti-Ds made me a bit brain dead emotionally so I never had down days or they didn't last long. So now dealing with the ups and downs of life again. You are right have to keep moving. Running helps a lot. A running buddy would help on those down days.
